title: [Surgical and orthodontic treatment of inclusions and dental retentions: report on the upper incisives and canines block].
abstract: We have consecrated this retrospective report to the clinical study and treatment of 18 cases of inclusions and dental retention observed in the services of orthodontics and oral surgery of the department of odontology of the medical faculty of the Dakar University. From that study it arises that 50% of the inclusions and retentions are casually discovered and that canines and central incisives take up to the first place. With regard to the surgical treatment associated to orthodontics, it is only seldom worked up because of its duration and the late appearance of the results. However it agrees to retain that the treatment of these affections can be conceived only in the point of view of a multidisciplinary approach.
