  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Surgical care activities in odontostomatology are numerous and varied with specificities that may differ depending on the competence of the practitioners, the site of implantation of the structure and the technical platform available. The objective of this work was to list the oral surgery activities of a reference service in a developing country. Material and Method: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, over a period of 6 years. Any patient who had benefited from an oral surgery procedure in the department during the study period was included in the study. Results: A total of 14,962 procedures were performed grouped into 6 types. The acts are dominated by dental extractions, maxillomandibular blockages (MMB)/Contentions and excisions of benign tumors with respectively 93.9% (n = 14,962), 2.1% (n = 341) and 1.8% (n = 289). Conclusion: These results showed the diversity of oral surgery acts in this reference department, despite a modest technical platform.
