[Problems linked to trismus in a dental office].

The objective of this report was to know the most frequent etiology of trismus we meet in our dental office as well as the different treatment set up. The question is an observation of 58 cases of trismus that we received in two different dental clinics: Odontology and Stomatology Institute and Social Hygen Institute of Dakar. The results we got show that trismus is an odontologist's daily problèm. Although its treatment is relatively easy, it is good to remember that etiologies other than dental exist.
