Abstract
The ultimate goal of dental implant therapy is to satisfy patient’s desire to replace one/ more missing teeth in an esthetic, secure, functional and long lasting manner. Techniques of imaging and their accurate interpretation in implant dentistry are a very important and crucial step for successful treatment. Various types of radiographic images are used for diagnosis and treatment planning of dental implant patients. Options ranges from standerd projections eg. Intraoral (periapical, occlusal), extraoral (panoramic, lateral cephalometric) radiographs, routinely available in the dental office to more complex radiographic techniques eg. Conventional x-ray tomography(CT) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), typically available only in radiographic centers. This article discusses an advanced imaging procedures for implant with their advantages and disadvantages when compared with conventional imaging techniques.
