    Abstract:
    The objective of this study is to describe the teeth decay affect of Moroccan children. The works of reference regroup a sample of 3004 children from 6 to 15 years old. The results are the next: the teeth decay concern 3 children for 5, the DMFT is 2 (bad) and 2 children for 3 have cariogenic dental plaque which means a bad bucco-dental hygiene and a great risk of decay recurrence. One child for two hasn't a toothbrush that increases the bad bucco-dental status. It appears that there is a cause-response relationship between the rate of decay the rate of cariogenic dental plaque and missing bucco-dental hygiene and also exaggerated consumption of sugar-refineries.
