First of all, he studied the different odontology pillars existing: their composition and their problems. Then he explained that in spite of the sanituary structures and the dental personal in office, the needs of the population in buccal and dental care would not be satisfied as long as the authorities would not modify the present organization of Ivoirian odontology. Finally, he produced some concrete propositions aimed at, in the long run on improving the buccal and dental state (health) of the collectivity.
