The success of extra-oral implants raises a certain number of technical and medical problems. Among these, the anatomy of the implant zone and bone quality are determining factors for osteointegration of the implants. We describe the principal zones of implantation detailing the risks involved in each area.
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.
Submental intubation is a new technique of oroendotracheal intubation in patients with facial fracture requiring jaw control, associated with skull base fracture. First described by Altemir in 1986, the simplicity of this procedure and its minimal scar traces lead the authors to prefer it to tracheostomy in patients who do not need endotracheal intubation for more than 48 hours.
