Les implants maxillofaciaux à plateaux d’assise

The Set sat back Implantology is based on biological and biomechanical concepts, which are very different from axial Implantology. The Implant is no more ankylosed in order to support occlusal forces, but integrated under the effect of these forces. This new therapeutic reasoning can appear disconcerting at first, and a good comprehension of the various types of early or late complications and their biomechanical and/or infectious origin is necessary before considering an enlightened reintervention. Finally, the management of therapeutic complications and failures, much more than the success of a treatment, highlights the theoretical and clinical competence level of a practitioner. It is thus important, from a legal point of view, to be aware of the responsibilities and the risks involved during these reinterventions.
