[Value and limitations of radiography in dental implantology].
Numerous studies have been done on the subject of the biological, histological and clinical reactions concerned with the insertion of dental implants. The method and techniques used by various authors, based on various parameters, are hardly comparable. Also the estimated criterious of the results obtained are often influenced by a tendency to a personal interpretation varying considerably from one author to another. It is thus difficult to compare the results of studies, where the observation protocols have nothing in common with them, especially where X-ray examination is concerned. The papers which place the emphasis on the X-ray exams of the dental implantology, being few and unalike, it seemed interesting to put into evidence the X-ray indications, to state exactly the techniques and particularly to show the limits that concern the diagnosis, the pre- and postoperative control and the assessment of the clinical success. This work tries to lay down some guide lines may be of use to the practitioner.
