Presurgical planning for osseointegrated implants in the maxilla. A tomographic evaluation of available alveolar bone and morphological relations in the maxilla

O Eckerdal et al. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1986 Dec.

Abstract

A clinical tomographic method of defining and demonstrating the hard and soft tissue morphology of those parts of the maxilla which are intended for osseointegrated implants is described. This preoperative examination is an useful aid in the choice and planning of the treatment as such, and in the decision concerning the calibre and position of the implants. Hence, it facilitates the surgical procedure.
