Recent advances and improvements in dental radiography provide the dentist with more options to plan and evaluate implants than ever before. Clinicians should apply selection criteria to determine which radiographs will be needed for a particular case, based on the need for diagnostic information and treatment objectives. Periapical, panoramic and CBCT imaging each have their advantages and disadvantages. When appropriately applied, radiographic examination serves as an essential adjunct to a thorough clinical exam. Together, these provide a solid foundation on which to plan and evaluate dental implant therapy.

This book highlights the advances in radiography provide clinicians with more options than ever before for evaluating patients and planning implant treatment.

The integration of dental implants has revolutionized modern dentistry, providing a reliable solution for the replacement of missing teeth. This study delves into the critical role of radiographic assessment in evaluating the success and longevity of dental implants. Radiographic techniques, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and periapical radiography, are instrumental in assessing osseointegration, bone density, and anatomical considerations. The objective is to explore the diagnostic accuracy, limitations, and advancements in radiographic methods for dental implant evaluation. By critically analyzing radiographic findings, clinicians can make informed decisions regarding implant placement, prosthodontic considerations, and long-term implant maintenance. This book highlights the significance of radiographic assessment in ensuring optimal outcomes in dental implantology, emphasizing the need for ongoing research and technological advancements in this evolving field.
