[Interest of the prosthetic occlusal rehabilitation in improving irritable bowel syndrome at the University Hospital of Cocody (Abidjan)].
The functional colopathies are frequent in digestive pathology and are particularly badly felt by African patients. The authors, after the determination of the masticatory efficiency score (classification of Verkindere) of 100 subjects affected by colopathies and diagnosed in the service of gastroenterology of Cocody University Hospital (Abidjan), attempt to determine the importance of the masticatory deficiency in functional colopathies. Among the toothless subjects with functional colopathies, the restoration of the masticatory efficiency by functional prosthetic rehabilitation constitutes an essential therapeutic act in the reduction of the symptoms of the functional colopathies and the improvement of the comfort of the patients. Patients' global care raises the interest of collaboration between odontologists and gastroenterologists for an efficient treatment.
