Proper implant treatment planning remains the first priority for implant success. Dental imaging is an important tool to accomplish this task. Traditional radiographs provide adequate information about proposed implant sites; however, limited film size, image distortion, magnification, and a 2-D view restrict their use in some cases. The purpose of this study is to provide an update about recent advancements in implant imaging to facilitate ideal implant treatment planning.
A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE to identify studies related to this topic using the keywords of implant imaging, computed tomography (CT), cone beam CT (CBCT), and digital implant planning.
Medical CT scan produce 3-dimensional replicas of anatomical areas with high resolution and accuracy. Although this type of imaging was introduced almost 20 years ago for implant planning, until recently it is widely used in most of the advanced procedures. CBCT is an advanced version of this technique. The advantages of CBCT are its specific design for the maxillofacial region, a reduced radiation exposure, cheaper, and excellent quality of images. Today, many companies are developing these cutting-edge machines and making it possible for dentists to use in their practices.
Coupled with converting software programs, CT/CBCT images may assist in selecting implant dimensions and predicting treatment outcomes. Understanding the up-to-date development of imaging aids could potentiate our ability in planning implant therapy.
正确的种植体治疗计划仍然是种植体成功的首要任务。牙科影像学是完成这项任务的重要工具。传统的射线照相术提供了关于拟议种植体部位的足够信息；然而，有限的胶片尺寸、图像失真、放大和二维视图在某些情况下限制了它们的使用。本研究的目的是提供有关种植体成像最新进展的信息，以促进理想的种植体治疗计划。
使用 MEDLINE 进行文献检索，使用关键词“种植体成像、计算机断层扫描 (CT)、锥形束 CT (CBCT) 和数字种植体规划”来识别与该主题相关的研究。
医学 CT 扫描以高分辨率和准确性生成解剖区域的三维复制品。尽管这种类型的成像在大约 20 年前就被引入用于种植体规划，但直到最近，它才在大多数高级手术中广泛使用。CBCT 是该技术的高级版本。CBCT 的优点是其针对颌面区域的特定设计、辐射暴露减少、价格更便宜和图像质量出色。如今，许多公司正在开发这些尖端机器，使牙医能够在实践中使用它们。
结合转换软件程序，CT/CBCT 图像可能有助于选择种植体尺寸和预测治疗结果。了解成像辅助工具的最新发展可以提高我们规划种植体治疗的能力。
