Dental implant therapy has dramatically expanded the treatment options available for both the partially and completely edentulous patient. Advances in the use of dental implants have necessitated the inclusion of additional diagnostic procedures in the treatment planning process to optimize the site and angulation of fixtures and, consequently, the success of prosthetic restorations. One of these procedures is computerized tomography. Originally introduced as a medical diagnostic technique, it has been adapted for many uses in dentistry. This article reviews the role of computerized tomography in dental implantology. Its advantages, disadvantages, and indications are presented.
牙种植治疗极大地扩展了部分或完全无牙患者可选用的治疗方案。牙种植体使用方面的进展使得在治疗计划过程中必须纳入额外的诊断程序，以优化种植体的植入位置和角度，从而提高修复体的成功率。其中一种程序就是计算机断层扫描。它最初作为一种医学诊断技术被引入，现已在牙科领域有多种应用。本文综述了计算机断层扫描在牙种植学中的作用，并介绍了其优缺点及适应证。
