Introduction: Oral health is an important parameter for assessing the oral health of a population in order to adopt an adapted health policy with preventive purposes but also to assess the needs of this population with regard to oral care-dental.

Materials and methods: This is a single-center documentary study of data from the medical files of patients who performed an orthopantomogram at the Biamba Marie Mutombo hospital. Over a period of 24 months, going from January 2020 to January 2022, which included 688 patients of all ages without discrimination of sex.

Results: With a total of 688 panoramics of patients without gender predominance with a sex ratio of 1:1. Agemean was 40.16 ± 20.29 years with the extremes of 6 years to 89 years. The age group of 20 to 39 was the most represented. The teeth of the incisor-canine sector were the most present. Wisdom teeth were the most absent, whatever the age group, with a female predominance, whether mandibular or maxillary; followed by the 2nd premolars and the 1st maxillary molars. The premolars were the most dilapidated; and the teeth in the posterior sector are those, which have benefited the most from composite treatment.
