Objective: To determine the prevalence of gingivitis among Malian children in Bamako, Mali. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 2640 children aged between 3 to 14 years old and two examiners collected the data. The gingival index was used to determine the degree of gingival. Gingival inflammation has been classified localized and / or generalized according to site rate achieved. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate the absolute and relative frequencies. Results: The prevalence of gingivitis was 87.5%. Regarding the distribution according to sex, the girls presented 60.6% while the boys 39.4%, with a sex ratio of 0.6. The most represented age group was 11-14 years old with 52.5% of cases. Plaque-induced gingivitis was the most common (58.2%), while moderate gingival inflammation affected 66.9% of the students with localized gingival inflammation involving 64.7% of the participants. Conclusion: The prevalence of gingivitis was high, so that early and correct management of this condition in children avoids complications and requires good oral hygiene. |
