Imaging in Dental Implantology: A Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 7
Abstract
Dental radiology have completely revolutionized the field of dentistry. For successful implant treatment, a presurgical treatment planning is most important. For this, diagnostic imaging plays a vital role. There are various imaging modalities available to aid in placing the implant in an appropriate location with relative ease and also get a predictable outcome. The various modalities described are intraoral radiography, cephalometric radiography, panoramic radiography, conventional tomography, computed tomography, conebeam CT and magnetic resonance imaging. The choice of which imaging modality to use along with when to image, is dependent on a number of factors including determination of quality and quantity of bone to establish the most favorable position of implant placement, detection of anomalies or pathological lesions if present and availability at a reasonable cost to patient. In addition, patients exposure to radiation dose as low as possible should always be in priority during radiographic examinations. This article reviews the various imaging modalities available currently and their clinical applications for sussesful implant placement.
