Abstract
The medical act is still a very vague notion in spite of the numerous developed attempts of definition. The treaty of medical law stays the reference but the devolpment of information and communication technologies and in particularly the telemedicine open the debate. This remote medical practice gives a new dimension to the medical act which deserves to be discussed. The odontology often stood back in the development of the telemedicine. Nevertheless there is a real public health issu on the oral state of the frail populations in France and in all countries. The development of a project of oral remote consultation in region Languedoc-Roussillon opens the discussion about the place of this profession in the landscape of the telemedicine.
