Abstract

ABSTRACT

In today's world, the aesthetic demands of patients in dentistry are very high, followed by functional requirements. CBCT diagnostics facilitate the achievement of these goals. Modern dentistry involves replacing missing teeth with dental implants. In dental implantology, precise imaging techniques are essential to accurately capture the area where implants will be placed, in order to avoid damaging adjacent vital structures during surgery. Today, radiological analysis of CBCT scans is considered the best method of choice, or the gold standard, in the pre-implantation procedure.

On CBCT scans, we can visualize the height, width, and density of the available bone for implant placement, the precise location of the maxillary sinus, mandibular canal, mental foramen, incisive canal, and diagnose certain present pathological changes.
