Abstract:
The jaw has traditionally been evaluated by dentists and oral surgeons using conventional panoramic and intraoral films. During the past decade, dental computed tomography (CT) has become the method of choice for preimplantation assessment of jaw anatomy. This has urged the radiologist to take a more active role in evaluating the jaw. The aim of this article is to provide the reader with knowledge that should facilitate him to evaluate implant sites, dental related inflammatory diseases and augmentation procedures on dental CT scans.
