[A plea for better compensation for dental lesions in adults under common law]

Compensation for dental damage in the adult (common law) must follow the physiological deficit and its consequences as closely as possible. Any dental loss must be compensated, but also any relative loss when dental trauma requires therapeutic mortification. Loss of the canines, of functional dental groups, unilateral posterior prostheses with prolongation, temporomandibular dysfunction and prosthetic difficulties must be taken into account in order to ensure just compensation for damage sustained. Prostheses and their replacement must be compensated separately from injury compensation. Accessory consequences linked to dental damage must not be neglected.
