RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Suicide is a widespread phenomenon that affects persons of all ages, and it has become a major public health problem in Morocco. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to describe the epidemiological profile of suicide attempters in Morocco, as well as the identification of associated factors. METHODS: The present work is a systematic review that was conducted according to the recommendations of the "Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (2009)", including articles dealing with suicide attempts in Morocco that meet the usual inclusion criteria. The PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases were searched; articles had to be written in English or French. Additional studies were manually identified through via Google Scholar. Quality assessment of the included studies was carried out according to the NIH Assessment Tool. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020165493). RESULTS: Twenty studies were selected. Adults and adolescents are the age groups most affected by suicide. That said, the phenomenon mainly concerns children over 10 years of age. In some studies, more than 90% of the cases involve females, and they are more numerous in urban than in rural settings, and single individuals are more affected than married people. As for children and adolescents, most of them had divorced parents, and more than 50% of suicidal persons of all ages had a low socio-economic level. Although females are more likely than males to commit suicide, males are more exposed to death due to the violent means used. CONCLUSIONS: Because of the alarming rate of suicide in our country, nationwide prevention strategies are called for.

Periodontal or gingival recession is the term used to characterize the apical displacement of the marginal gingiva on the surface of the root beyond the enamel junction. THE OBJECTIVE: of this study was to determine the prevalence of periodontal recession in the Dentistry Department of the Bamako Hospital Infirmary. METHOD: This study was carried out in the dentistry department of the Bamako Hospital Infirmary over a 3-month period from January 15 to April 15, 2020. The inclusion criteria concerned patients who came for consultation in the department. A survey sheet comprising socio-demographic and clinical variables was developed for this purpose. RESULTS: The prevalence of periodontal recession was 23.64%. Men were the most represented with 63.9%. Oral hygiene was fair with 42.62%, 36% of periodontal recessions were shallow and narrow. Miller's Class I and Class II recession types were the most represented with 41%. The incisors were the most affected with a rate of 29.64%. At the community level, adequate awareness and education in maintaining oral hygiene should prove successful in the long term.
La récession parodontale ou gingivale est le terme utilisé pour caractériser le déplacement apical de la gencive marginale à la surface de la racine au-delà de la jonction amelocementaire. L'OBJECTIF: de cette étude était de déterminer la prévalence de la récession parodontale dans le service d'Odontologie de l'Infirmerie Hôpital de Bamako. MÉTHODE: Cette étude a été réalisée dans le service d'odontologie de l'Infirmerie Hôpital de Bamako sur une période de 3 mois du 15 janvier au 15 Avril 2020. Les critères d'inclusion concernaient les patients venus en consultation dans le service. Une fiche d'enquête comportant les variables sociodémographiques et les variables cliniques a été élaborée à cet effet. RÉSULTAT: La prévalence de la récession parodontale était de 23,64%. Les hommes étaient les plus représentés avec 63,9%. L'hygiène bucco-dentaire était passable dans 42,62% des cas et 36% des récessions parodontales étaient peu profondes et étroites. Les types de récession de classe I et II de Miller étaient les plus représentés avec 41%. Les incisives étaient les plus touchées avec un taux de 29,64%. Au niveau communautaire une sensibilisation et une éducation adéquate en matière de maintien de l'hygiène buccale s'avère bénéfique à long terme.
