Les implants maxillofaciaux à plateaux d’assise

Although set sat back implantology exists since near 30 years, there is still no significant statistical clinical study in the international literature. The objective of this last article is thus to establish a retrospective study on all complete maxillary and/or mandibular rehabilitation with set sat back maxillofacial implants carried out in Milan Private Clinic (Paris) from 1994 to the early 2004, excluding from the field of this work all partial dental rehabilitations. Our results are classified in 4 distinct tables in order to determine the general statistics of our exercise, the influence of the occlusal and functional context and the rehabilitation type (strictly implantar or mixt dental-implantar) on the development of early or late complications, to evaluate their nature and frequency and to highlight the role of smoking and bruxism on their development. Finally, the results of this technique are very interesting, particularly for the treatment of the most complex clinical situations in the most fragile patients.
