ABSTRACT

BACK GROUND: Cone beam computed tomography is the new technical development in the modern era which is a boon tothe dentists for the planning of implant placement. AIM: The aim of our study is to prove that cone beam computed tomography will be the guiding tool for placement of implant in different clinical situations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, cone beam computed tomography data of five patients with different clinical situations, scanned for implant placement were retrieved. The scan was performed using PlanmecaPromax CBCT Scanner and Romexis Software was used for the assessment. Then planning was executed for implant placement in these situations. CONCLUSION: Cone beam computed tomography proves to be a valuable tool for the planning and implant placement.
