[The need for awareness oriented towards dental care in Yaounde].
The authors report a study on six months at Yaounde and they compare women's and men's consultation in dental services. They find that women consult much more than men. The study also shows that women have a lot of dental decays than men, but men's caries are more deeper because they neglect treating teeth. Women desire conserving their teeth while men ask to move out each of their tooth beginning to be ill. The women's periodontal status is better than men's one. Men need to be educated for more mouth and teeth care.
