title: [Permanent percutaneous connections and osteointegration].
abstract: Passage through the skin of an abutment anchored on an implant fixed on the underlying one constitutes a Permanent Percutaneous Connection of which the principal applications are stabilization of maxillofacial prosthesis (MFP) or bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) support. The long-term outcome of a PPC depends on a variety of different parameters. We analyzed the influence of the most important factor: osseointegration.
