The objective of this recently published article was to review the literature which describes the evolving role of cone-beam computed tomography in dental implant treatment planning. The literature supports the use of CBCT in regards to linear measurements, three-dimensional evaluation of alveolar ridge topography, proximity to vital anatomical structures, and fabrication of surgical guides.
The article concludes that CBCT is necessary for complex cases, where placement of multiple implants is required. CBCT is also ideal when working with severely resorbed maxilla and the mandible. The ability of CBCT to reconstruct a fully three dimensional model of the maxilla and mandible will help identify critical anatomic structures accurately for precise placement of dental implants with minimal complications.
