title: [Role of endo-osseus implant in odonto-oral rehabilitation].
abstract: Dental implants have critically changed the restorative procedures available to edentulous patients. Biocompatible materials, precise surgical techniques and improved instrumentation give well trained practicioners various opportunities to achieve successful treatments. The necessity of combining full expertise in surgery and rational prosthetic planning with comprehensive occlusal management is emphasized. Recent advances in periodontal treatment of osseous and soft tissue defects, new grafting techniques and surgical approaches have dramatically enlarged the scope of oral implantology.
