Radiological support as a risk reduction tool in dental implantology

Abstract

X-ray support is one of the effective tools to reduce the risk of errors and complications in dental implantology. The combination of three-dimensional (cone-beam computed tomography) and two-dimensional (orthopantomogram and radiovisiography) X-ray examinations helps increase the long-term results of the implant treatment through detailed planning, monitoring of the correct installation of implants, dynamic assessment of the condition of tissues surrounding the implant, and early diagnosis of periimplantitis. However, no consensus has been established among practitioners of which studies and at which stages of treatment should dental implants be prescribed to a patient. These concerns increased the risk of untimely detection of errors and complications at the stages of treatment and the likelihood of overdiagnosis with the appointment of unnecessary examinations to the patient. Thus, more studies on this topic and the development of a protocol suitable for X-ray support during implant treatment are warranted.
