“Success of the dental implants depends on meticulous treatment planning which depends
on precision and accuracy of diagnostic information of the patient's anatomy at the
proposed implant site”

Planning of Dental Implants includes:
1. Pre-operative
2. Intra-operative
3. Post-operative
Recommendation
● Initial examination of multiple edentulous spaces
● Radiographic follow-up of multiple implants

Anterior maxilla:
- Vertical limitation: floor of the
nasal fossa.
- Vertical dimension of available
bone is often limited by residual
ridge atrophy (may lead to a
buccal concavity)
Posterior maxilla:
Vertical limitation: floor of the maxillary sinus
Vital structures:

Surgical Stent
Annual recall imaging through the first 4 years of follow-up has been
recommended for asymptomatic patients.
The most reliable indicators of implant success are clinical stability and
radiographic evidence of bone adjacent to the implant body.
(The angulation of the x-ray beam must be within 9o of the long axis of the
fixture)
