Successful dental implant rehabilitation requires accurate preoperative planning of the surgical intervention based on prosthodontic considerations and validated treatment methods. The introduction and widespread use of cross-sectional imaging in implant dentistry using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) over the last decade has enabled clinicians to diagnose and evaluate the jaws in three dimensions before and after insertion of dental implants, thus replacing computed tomography (CT) as the standard of care. Furthermore, computer-guided implant surgery uses data from cross-sectional imaging derived from CBCT scans on a routine basis. Considering rapid changes in science and clinical practice, the first two systematic reviews in this group by Bornstein et al and Tahmaseb et al have centered their focused questions on these topics.
Bornstein et al. (2014) studied this question.
