| Abstract | ||||
| Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of multi-detector computed tomography of jaw bones through measurement of jaw density in patients submitted to dental implant restoration . Patients and methods: Our study included 30 systemically healthy patients with partially edentulous areas planning for dental implantation, 20 females and 10 males, ranged in age from 21-65 years with mean age of ±45 years. All patients were referred from the Out-Patient Clinic, Oral Medicine and Periodontology Department, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Assiut Branch , during the period from February 2018 to October 2018. Results: Our study included 30 cases and our results shows that 9 cases are suitable for implantation (D1, D2) (30%), 15 cases are relatively suitable for implantation (D3) (50%) and 6 cases are not suitable for implantation (D4) (20%). Conclusion: Applying the findings of the current study, it is concluded that dental MDCT is considered an excellent noninvasive imaging modality in the preoperative evaluation of dental implant patients through measurement of jaw bone density . | ||||
