Medico-legal considerations in immediate loading implantology: risks, responsibilities, and best practices.

The field of immediate loading implantology has grown rapidly, offering quicker solutions for prosthetic rehabilitation. However, the complexity of this technique raises significant medico-legal concerns regarding patient safety, treatment planning, and professional liability. These issues are particularly relevant in elective procedures where failure could lead to litigation.

Biological existence from medicalisation to biomedicalization.

The process of medicalisation began around the end of the 18th century due to the emergence of the bourgeoisie and its values, which included the right to be healthy and carry out one's everyday skills, actions which in turn entailed the creation of a state's wealth. In this period, biopolitics was established, a new form of power administration. This made use of medicine to create behaviour that was useful for social activity, shifting the focus from the administration of the law to bringing subjects back within norms through therapeutic action.
