The answer must consider that the raw result obtained as a result of a medical biology technique must be interpreted and discussed by the expert in the discipline (in this case by the parasitologist) before being included in the medical discussion and discussed by the medical examiner. The judgment is secondarily delivered by the judge according to his intimate conviction and without determining the probative value of the examination. Should a post-mortem biological examination be part of an expertise in medical biology or is it a technical and scientific examination?

This raises the question of the medical liability of healthcare professionals who use different implant systems in their practices. The present article proposes to highlight the choice of the dental implant by dental practitioner, its design and the materials used, on the field of the medical liability, through a retrospective study of judicial decisions in France. The “Brånemark-type” endosseous cylindrical-conical screw implant is considered as standard of care in France.
