Abstract

Various imaging modalities have been used for dental implant assessment in the different stages of implant treatment. Basic imaging, such as panoramic and periapical radiographs, are generally useful and cost-effective but do not provide the cross-sectional visualization or interactive image analysis that can be obtained with more sophisticated imaging techniques, such as Cone-Beam Computed Tomography(CBCT) imaging. This article includes the applications of CBCT imaging and their diagnostic contribution to presurgical evaluation, treatment planning, and postoperative assessment of dental implants.
