Publication Abstract

KEY POINTS

• Multidetector computed tomography is useful in treatment planning, but has limited use during implant surgery and follow-up of cases.
• Low-dose protocols should be applied without compromising the diagnostic quality of images.
• Radiographic stents are necessary in multiple-implant and esthetically challenging cases.
• Proper image reformatting is necessary with sectional images being parallel and perpendicular to the jaws.
• Implant simulations are preferable to linear measurements of implant sites.
