Abstract

The preoperative use of computed tomography in the planning for osseointegrated implants in the maxilla is described. In addition to the image of the soft tissue and alveolar bone provided, this procedure makes the deduction of the ideal fixture site possible. This is done using information supplied by the CT scanning. It is a time-saving method compared to conventional tomography and eliminates the need for panoramic and intra-oral radiographs.
