Abstract

Rehabilitation of missing teeth with the use of dental implants has become the most accepted mode of treatment in modern dental practice. Success in oral implantology is highly dependent on proper diagnosis and pre-operative treatment planning, a gap that has been filled by currently available diagnostic imaging modalities. This article reviews various common imaging modalities used in implant dentistry along with an analysis of their clinical application.
