Abstract

Treatment with intraosseous osteointegrable dental implants is a modern therapeutic method that achieves complete rehabilitation by fully restoring the patient's masticatory function and aesthetics. The success of their application is closely related to the process of osseointegration. Osteointegration is the process of bone formation between the alloplastic material and the surrounding biological environment. The quality and quantity of bone available is a major prognostic factor for the success of dental implants. Some authors evaluate metabolic activity of bone after placement of dental implants or bone grafts using conventional scintigraphy and singlephoton emission computed tomography (SPECT). The aim of the publication is to present the application of the SPECT study with 99mTc MDP in dental implantology.
