Overview

Imaging and diagnostic technology in dentistry encompasses the tools and techniques used to visualize oral and maxillofacial structures, enabling clinicians to plan treatments and assess anatomical conditions with precision. Research published in Dentistry And Oral Implants has examined the comparative utility of different imaging modalities in implant dentistry, particularly focusing on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and orthopantomography (OPG) for evaluating sinus anatomy prior to augmentation procedures. Studies have explored how digital planning technologies support the placement of mini-implants for orthodontic applications, such as palatal expanders in open-bite treatment, demonstrating the integration of three-dimensional imaging into treatment workflows. Additionally, published work has investigated the role of imaging in assessing bioactive graft materials used in sinus augmentation, where accurate visualization of bone quality and sinus dimensions is essential for surgical success. This topic matters because appropriate selection and interpretation of imaging modalities directly influence treatment outcomes in implant dentistry, affecting surgical precision, complication rates, and long-term stability. The journal's contributions reflect ongoing efforts to establish evidence-based protocols for imaging selection in complex dental and implant procedures.
