Implant imaging. Status, controversies, and new developments.
Imaging for the planning of implant placement, for surveillance of restored fixtures, and for the management of complications is confusing because of the large number of modalities available. Clinicians, however, must recognize that each technique has advantages and limitations. It is essential to consider treatment objectives and patient needs carefully before performing or ordering imaging tests.
