Abstract:
Whereas other radiographs may be adequate for assessment of mandibular anterior implant sites, the use of computerised tomography is recommended for evaluating potential implant sites in the maxillae. A complete denture replica with appropriate radiopaque markers aids in the assessment. Hounsfield densitometric measurements provide additional information on the quality of available bone.
