title: Intraoral Periapical Radiographs with Grids for Implant Dentistry.
abstract: There are ample modern diagnostic imaging tools available, but the affordability, availability and radiation exposure remains the concern. Intraoral periapical radiographs (IOPAR) are widely used for the preoperative planning and evaluation for most minor oral surgical procedures owing to it simplicity, significantly lower cost, less radiation exposure and easy availability in a dental clinical set-up. Using these radiographs with a grid aids in increasing the accuracy of the linear measurements for the treatment planning.
