To perform the implant procedure successfully, dentists first need to evaluate bone pathology and bone density. Then theyneed to assess the alveolar bone’s exact height, its buccolingual width, and the alveolar process contour on the radiograph.Important anatomical landmarks must also be confirmed:the inferior wall of the maxillary sinus in maxilla and themandibular canal in mandible area prerequisites. This paper discusses the roles of recent radiographic modalities (panoram-ic radiography, conventional CT with dental software and cone beam CT) in planning implant treatment.
