Diagnostic imaging for dental implant : indication, radiation dose and novel technology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Diagnostic imaging is indispensable to predict successful dental implant with high safety standard. Several modalities including developing techniques should be examined for this purpose. In the study, the radiation dose to the patient was measured and the reduction in dose was proposed without compromising the diagnostic value. The diagnostic reference level of the studies was also proposed. Volumetric tomography and a panoramic technique using tomosynthesis were suggested to be useful in evaluating implant treatment.
