[Dental implantology and expertise. Apropos of 6 cases].
Dental implants are used with increasing interest each day. This costly material, which is reimbursed neither by Public Social Protection Agencies nor by private health insurance companies, has become a cause for lawsuits. We analyzed the experts' conclusions regarding legal mementos and expert reports, wherein medical liability (4 cases) and repair of dental injury (2 cases) were put into question. The experts stress the need to regard this technique as surgical, and to have it necessarily yield results. Repair of damage caused by dental trauma using implants does not alter conventional approaches in terms of social security cover for maintenance and replacement of dental prosthesis. Difficulties encountered by experts in evaluating injuries sustained by bone-adapted implants are evoked.
