RÉSUMÉ
Objectifs. Évaluer le niveau de connaissance des dentistes et personnels des cabinets dentaires de la ville de Niamey sur l’antibiorésistance et de mener des actions correctrices. Méthodologie. Il s’est agi d’une étude prospective à visée descriptive chez les dentistes et les personnels des cabinets dentaires publics et privés de la région de Niamey du 1er janvier au 30 Avril 2022. Résultats. Au total 19 dentistes et personnels des cabinets dentaires ont participé à enquête. L’âge moyen était de 36,42ans. Nous avons relevé une prédominance masculine (53%). Les dentistes représentaient 26,32% des participants. Le niveau d’instruction prédominant était le secondaire avec 47%. La quasi-totalité avait mal défini la résistance malgré qu’ils avaient en entendu parler. Conclusion. Notre enquête rapporte une mauvaise connaissance de la problématique de l’antibiorésistance chez les dentistes. Au vu de ces résultats, il convient de développer des campagnes de sensibilisation et de formation continue des dentistes et auxiliaires afin d’endiguer la résistance bactérienne.
 
ABSTRACT
Objective. To evaluate the level of knowledge of dentists and dental office staff in the city of Niamey on antibiotic resistance and to take corrective actions. Methodology. We conducted a prospective study with a descriptive aim among dentists and staff of public and private dental offices in the region of Niamey from 01 January to 30 April 2022. Results. A total of 19 dentists and dental office staff participated in the survey. The average age was 36.42 years. We noted a male predominance (53%). Dentists represented 26.32% of the participants. The most predominant level of education was secondary school with 47%. Almost all of them had poorly defined resistance despite having heard about it. Conclusion. Our survey shows that there is a lack of awareness of the problem of antibiotic resistance among dentists. In view of these results, awareness campaigns and continuing education for dentists and dental assistants should be developed in order to curb bacterial resistance
