One of the orthodontist's goals is to improve dental occlusion while taking into account dental, maxillary and facial balance. It is his responsibility, prior to any orthodontic treatment to make a positive and etiopathogenic diagnosis that will drive his treatment planning. One of the basic parameters to be considered is the mesiodistal width of the teeth. Indeed, a tooth size discrepancy often causes therapeutic failures; its diagnosis has been possible since 1958 thanks to Bolton whose researches were carried out on the American population. The principal objective of this study was to verify if his analysis is applicable to the Senegalese population. Its secondary objective was to specify the odontometric data of Senegalese subjects. For this reason, 60 Senegalese aged between 13 and 33 have been selected and for each subject we have measured the overjet and overbite, the mesiodistal and vestibulo-lingual diameters of the 12 maxillary and mandibular teeth. The obtained results have allowed us to assume that the Bolton analysis can be applied to the Senegalese population as a whole. We have also found that the Senegalese subject's odontometric data did not have any significant difference with the known data.
正畸医生的目标之一是在考虑牙齿、上颌骨和面部平衡的同时改善牙合关系。在进行任何正畸治疗之前，做出积极的病因诊断并据此制定治疗计划是他的职责。需要考虑的基本参数之一是牙齿的近远中宽度。事实上，牙齿大小差异常常导致治疗失败；自1958年以来，由于博尔顿对美国人群进行的研究，才使得对此类差异的诊断成为可能。本研究的主要目的是验证他的分析是否适用于塞内加尔人群。其次要目的是明确塞内加尔受试者的牙测量数据。因此，选取了60名年龄在13至33岁之间的塞内加尔人，为每位受试者测量了覆盖、覆牙合，以及12颗上颌和下颌牙齿的近远中直径和唇（颊）舌径。所得结果使我们能够假定博尔顿分析可应用于整个塞内加尔人群。我们还发现，塞内加尔受试者的牙测量数据与已知数据没有显著差异。
