Abstrakt: | This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study lasting 8 months from 20 January to 20 September 2013, carried out in the Department of Dentistry of the Bamako IHB Military Hospital. Thus, out of 263 children surveyed, 178 cases of tooth decay were recorded, ie 67.68%. Females accounted for 97 cases or 54.49% with a sex ratio of 1.2; the 3- to 6-year age group accounted for 72 cases, or 40.45%. School children accounted for 85.39% of cases. The children who brushed represent 168 cases or 94.38%. Those who brushed once were the most represented with 145 cases or 86.30%. Almost all patients had consulted for swelling and pain. The group of lower right and left lower temporal molars were the most represented with respectively 24.71% and 28.09%. Temporary teeth were 103 (71.0%) were mainly the most affected. Stage 3 caries known as pulp according to the classification of early childhood caries represented 145 cases, ie 81.46%. The lower jaw represented 142 cases, ie 77.76%. Oral health plays an important role in children to maintain oral functions. It is necessary for eating, developing speech and a positive self-image. It is therefore time to focus on education campaigns, information for behavioral change in oral hygiene and the use of anti-caries adjuvants in children.
