This advance seminar will cover various anatomical radiological surgical nooks and corners involved in treatment planning while selecting a case for cortico-basal implantology.
Diagnostic imaging is crucial in assessing dental implant patients. The height, width, and shape of the bone are precisely depicted and measured by these tests, which help pinpoint the locations of significant anatomical structures adjacent to the implant placement sites but still somethings are done blind on operation table for which definitive knowledge of anatomy and surgery is needed. The type of implant to be utilized, the positioning of the remaining dentition, and the degree to which bone quality or quantity is in question all play a role in determining the radiologic approach that is most suited for a given patient. A complete radiographic evaluation is essential for assessing these aspects, letting patients know their chances of a good recovery, appraising and guiding implant placement before surgery, and assessing the prognosis of the implant after surgery. Radiological survey when combined with appropriate anatomical and surgical knowledge yields a suitable and predictable treatment.
