IMAGING IN DENTAL IMPLANTS

Abstract

Dental implants have gained a lot of popularity among patients as a viable option for tooth replacement. It has recently become a standard treatment plan in many dental practices, and proper treatment planning is required to ensure a satisfactory outcome. As a result, radiography is an indispensable tool in providing information to clinicians so that an appropriate diagnosis and treatment strategy may be devised. Since the emergence of advanced imaging techniques, determining an appropriate implant imaging modality has become a challenge, and many of these modalities are being used for implant imaging. When it comes to imaging, the technique should take into account not only the anatomy but also the dimensional accuracy. As a result, all of the associated advantages and drawbacks should be considered while deciding on the type of imaging modalities.
