Dental implants are titanium cylinders that are surgically implanted into the jaw to allow fixation of a permanent dental prosthesis. These have provided an attractive alternative to standard removable dentures and have become quite popular. To assess these patients preoperatively, CT software programs were developed that display multiple axial, cross-sectional, and panoramic images of the jaw. As a result, new dialogues and interactions were created between radiologists and dentists, and this in turn brought new territories and unfamiliar diseases to the radiologists' view. The purpose of this article is to familiarize the radiologist with dental implants, the surgical procedure, dental CT software programs, and related dental pathology.
牙种植体是通过外科手术植入颌骨的钛圆柱体，用于固定永久性假牙。这些牙种植体为标准的可摘假牙提供了一种有吸引力的替代方案，并且已经变得相当流行。为了在术前评估这些患者，开发了CT软件程序，该程序可以显示颌骨的多个轴向、横断面和全景图像。结果，放射科医生和牙医之间产生了新的对话和互动，这反过来又将新的领域和不熟悉的疾病带入了放射科医生的视野。本文的目的是让放射科医生熟悉牙种植体、手术过程、牙科CT软件程序以及相关的牙科病理学。
