INTRODUCTIONDental implants have become the most ideal option for replacement of missing teeth. Ithas become one of the most predictable fixed treatment modality with maximum survival rates(Park, 2001). Some authors have predicted the life span of an implant as 20 years approximatelyprovided the patient has no complicating medical, social and dental causes to hinder the overallsuccess of dental implants. However, like any other procedure there are parameters that make aprocedure more predictable. These include patient related parameters, procedure relatedparameters and the implant itself. General health condition, periodontal dental health andsmoking should be sorted as the first step towards the decision making of an implant procedure(Katsoulis and et.al., 2016). However, the most crucial step right before placing an implant is toassess the quality and volume of bone available. Assessing volume and quality of born available for placing dental implantsDental implants can be determined as a modern dentistry in which missing teeth isreplaced. In other to understand this concept firstly one need to picture a natural tooth which isdivided into two parts that are crown and root (Norton and Gamble, 2011). Root are the partwhich is fixed inside the born and crown is the part which is visible inside the mouth above thegum line. With dental implant root part is replaced with the messing tooth and then it is tappedwith realistic looking dental crown.Dental implant is used one or more than one missing teeth. It is important that the qualityof born should be strong. Further, there should be enough bone in the jaw. Moreover, the boneneed to be strong enough or else bone augmentation is added to make it strong. In addition tothis, supporting tissues need to be in healthy condition so that implant can be placed. Beforedental implant, the most important parameters of patient is bone quality (Maetre-Ferrin, Carrillo-Garcia, Galan-Gil, Penarrocha-Diago, 2008). In this context, there are many risk factors involvedwhich are soft bone, transplanted born and irradiated bone. The volume and quality of bone available for implant placement is fairly determined firstby a thorough clinical examination. Careful gathering of clinical data is followed by severalintra-oral and extra-oral radiographic methods such as peri-apical, occlusal, dental panaromictomograph, 3 dimensional imaging. But, these conventional radiologic evaluation of the recipientsite on which the implants have to be placed provide a bi-dimensional geometric projection.Historically and even widely used today as the preliminary radiologic assessment tool are1
