Export Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has made beneficial contributions to the planning and placement of dental implants. The data from CBCT is so accurate that it can be used to fabricate a surgical guide that is used to transfer the implant planning information to the surgical site. Unique imaging options are provided by CBCT, which can be a boon in various aspects of prosthodontic practice. From imaging of the temporomandibular joint for accurate movement simulation to over denture therapy or even template-assisted maxillofacial reconstruction. Inspite of inherent limitations associated with conventional two-dimensional (2D) radiographs, these continue as the centerpiece for assessments of anatomical landmarks and implant site evaluation. In cases where the projected implant receptor or bone augmentation site(s) are suspected, CBCT should be considered as an alternative imaging. Conventional radiography may not be able to assess the true regional three-dimensional anatomical presentations.
