Abstract

One of the critical factors for dental implant success is accurate clinical and radiological assessment. Cone-beam computed tomography systems (CBCT) allow surgeons to determine the quality and quantity before surgery, aiding in treatment planning. This study highlights the importance of such an assessment.

A total of 40 patients were referred to CBCT scanning for pre-dental implant assessment in the Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology department at Al-Shaheed Gazi Al Hariri Hospital from 2021 to 2022. The patients were between 18 and 50 years old. All data were analyzed with on-demand 3D software (Kavo OP 3D: Cone Beam 3D imaging Germany).

Regarding the ridge shape:

  1. In the upper anterior and posterior regions, the rectangular shape had the highest percentages of (62.5%) and (75%) respectively.
  2. In the lower anterior and posterior regions, the pyramidal shape had the highest percentages of (55%) and (60%), respectively, and the hourglass shape was the lowest in all areas.

Regarding bone density:

The highest bone density percentage in the anterior upper region was D3 (67%), while in the upper posterior region, D4 had the highest percentage (77.5%). In the lower anterior region, D2 had a more prominent percentage (52.5%), while in the lower posterior, D3 was predominant (82.6%).

From this study, it can be suggested that CBCT is the best modality for pre-implant radiographic assessment, and ridge shape and bone density are easily assessed using this method.
