DISCUSSION
In this study, one notes an augmentation of the
prevalence and severity of periodontal pathology with
increasing age. This is in conformity with the result of
various publications (15) in Nigeria, (14) Tanzania,
(12) Sierra)Leone and (16) Zaire.
Inspite of the high prevalence of bleeding (code 1),
the severity is remarkably low (1,25 sextants out of
six). There is only a case of juvenile periodontitis
(0,3%) which confirms the figure of 0,3% - 0,7% given
for Nigeria / Thailand (18) and other studies on the
black-race : (6) (9) which give the figures of between
0,1 and 0,5%.
The treatment need of this population is generally
covered by motivation and scaling / polishing. In a
population where the rate of clinical consultation is
