Specialty Imaging: Dental Implants is a unique textbook written by a team of experts representing every specialty that deals with implant dentistry, but led by an oral and maxillofacial radiologist. This collaborative effort has produced a truly comprehensive reference for anyone involved with imaging for dental implant purposes, including oral and maxillofacial radiologists, oral surgeons, periodontists, technicians, and general dentists. Specialty Imaging: Dental Implants is organized in such a way that it guides the reader from the basics to the post-procedure management of implants. The main topics include: anatomy and nomenclature of dental implants as well as biological and biomechanical considerations; imaging toolbox options, with the utilization of these options for planned implant site evaluation; discussion of common pathology that may be encountered in the analysis of radiographic data with applicable implant correlations; available alveolar process augmentation options based on radiographic imaging data; imaging protocols for post-surgical implant procedure and the radiographic appearances of success; and lastly, the radiographic appearance of complications associated with dental implant treatment.
