Abstract

Abstract: Alveolar bone density is considered to be one of the most important factors affecting the clinical outcome of immediate implant restoration. The bone density can be used to predict the initial stability of the implant, so as to decide the preoperative plan, implant selection, surgical protocal for immediate implant treatment, and at the same time refine the indications of implant treatment from the perspective of bone density. A large number of studies have shown that imaging methods such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, panoramic X-ray film, periapical X-ray film, Micro-computed tomography, multi-slice computed tomography, cone beam computed tomography, etc., can assess the bone density of the recipient bone. However, the use of imaging methods to formulate the classification of bone mineral density used in clinical decision-making for immediate implant treatment of patients, especially in the treatment of patients with edentulous jaws, needs further research. This article reviews the research on obtaining bone mineral density data using imaging methods.

Key words: Bone density, Imaging, Tomography, Cone-beam computed tomography, Dental implants
