title: Computer analysis of titanium implants in atrophic arch and poor quality bone: a case report.
abstract: The oral implantologist usually uses a panoramic radiograph for the evaluation of bone tissue around implants. The development of computed tomography combined with computer software has allowed for the bone-to-implant interface to be illustrated in greater detail with cross-sectional and pseudo-color images. An implant patient has titanium fixtures in an atrophic arch and poor quality bone four years after implantation. The implants were loaded with fixed metal/resin restorations seven days after surgery. Integration of the implants and the anatomic structures near the implant sites are described with an imaging technique.
