Abstract
Intraoral periapical, panoramic, and cephalometric radiographs may best
be used during the initial phase of patient evaluation. Individually or as a
group they provide a radiographic overview of the patient's oral condition,
including the presence or absence of pathoses. However, these techniques do not
provide an accurate determination of the quality and quantity of available
bone, because the images they produce are of unpredictable magnification and
represent only the facial aspect of the maxilla and mandible. Quantitative and
qualitative analyses of bone can be conducted at implant site by using CT scan.
MRI can be used to locate the exact vital structures. The recent technology
used for dental implant imaging is CBCT, as it provides the rapid acquisition
of data with little radiation exposure. This article includes brief
descriptions of the technical principles of each imaging modality in implant
dentistry.
