    Abstract:
    The authors report on 13 cases of temporomandibular ankylosis observed in Gabon. Based on an epidemiologic and etio-pathogenic study, they dwell on the existing therapy of this affection, i.e. broad osteotomy with silicone interposition followed by mechanotherapy prolonged in time. Prophylaxis is discussed in the framework of Primary Health Care.
