Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of gingivitis in Malian military population. Method: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study which lasted two years from January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2015. The study population consisted of soldiers aged 18 to 65 who came to consult during the study period. A clinical examination was carried out in order to collect socio-demographic and clinical data and to lead to a diagnosis. The data collected were listed on Excel spreadsheet and processed by epi-info software version 3.5.3. Results: 2760 patients presented gingivitis with a prevalence of 85.2%. Patients in the 18-34 age group were the most affected with a prevalence of 53.5%. Moderate gingival inflammation was strongly represented 46.7% of cases. Plaque-induced gingivitis representing 78.2%. Conclusion: The prevalence of gingivitis was high in our study. These data illustrate the importance of implementing effective means to prevent not only these gingivitis, but also possibilities of managing its onset and complications in military setting.
