[Organ, tissue transplantation, prosthetic surgery and dental focal infections: attitude of the dental surgeon].

The rational use of oral surgery therapy and techniques allows the preservation of total, or part of the infected dental organ. With patients who are about be grafted or undergo prosthetic surgery, the oral state is of prime importance and requires special attention. Getting such patients ready for operation must take into consideration the pathology for which they have been admitted to hospital. Therefore the length of oral care fully justifies its priority in the patient's preparation previously to surgery.
