Abstract:
Proper implant dimension and implant site selection are two major factors that affect the eventual prosthodontic rehabilitation and long-term serviceability of the implant and prosthesis. Conventional linear tomography permits accurate measurements and assessment of available bone for both factors. A protocol for the use of conventional linear tomography for diagnostic assessment, evaluation of proposed implant sites, and the selection of proper implant type and dimension is presented.
