title: [Extra-oral implants: surgical procedures].
abstract: The different extra-oral implant systems (screw and plate fixation) are not compatible. Rigorous surgical procedure (detailed and illustrated here) is mandatory to obtain the best implant osseointegration and epithesis loading 3 months later. Besides surgical procedure, careful bone and peri-abutment suture are required for success.
