title: [Pre-orthodontic surgical treatment of retained or ectopic teeth in juvenile dentitions].
abstract: For orthodontic and gnathologic reasons, impacted teeth in adolescents should not be extracted but rather placed in their appropriate positions. This article deals with the surgical aspects of a combined surgical and orthodontic methods for incorporating these teeth into the dental arch. The procedure for lifting the gingival tissue to expose the impacted tooth and the application of a plastic attachment via "direct bonding" were described.
