Abstract:
Implant performance is closely related to the load transmission at the bone-to-implant interface where bone quality will be highly variable.It has been demonstrated that poor quality bone is associated with high failure rates.To date,Digital Radiography,Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and Computed tomography scan technique have gained increasing popularity for precise evaluation of the dental implant field in clinic,which would enable the surgeons to predict implant properties and immediate loading capacity before surgery.Individual preoperative measurements of local bone mineral density could be used to determine the best suited implant sites and types and optimize the prosthetic plan accordingly,which has important significance in the prognosis of the dental implants.
