Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Dental Implant is a device made of alloplastic (foreign) material implanted into the jaw bone beneath the mucosal layer to support a fixed or removable dental prosthesis, the use of which has increased dramatically over the last decade and is becoming the preferred choice of treatment. Dental radiology has played an exciting and critical diagnostic role in dentistry. In oral Implantology, success is highly dependent on proper diagnosis and pre-operative treatment planning.</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp; </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Radiography offers the singular method of (non-surgical) analysis of bone required for implant therapy. Thus radiology plays a vital role in providing information to the clinician so that a proper diagnosis and treatment modality could be planned out. This review has been done with the objective of evaluating various radiographic aids available for implant planning and implant placement.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
