Preoperative computed tomography in patients requiring a bone-anchored hearing aid.
A preoperative computed tomography technique, "Dentascan" or "Dentatool", was used to find the optimal site for implant installation in patients requiring a bone-anchored hearing aid. The technique is demonstrated in a patient with bilateral bone conduction hearing loss who was treated with bilateral bone-anchored hearing aids.
