IMPLICATION OF IMAGES FOR DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT PLANNING: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

Abstract. Background and aim: Meanwhile, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has developedrapidly and is now being routinely used for preoperative planning by some implant surgeons. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis, evaluate the Implications for dental implant treatment planning. Method: The search took place between 2010 and 2019. In this study, we first reviewed the abstract of the articles and selected the studies that had the most coordination with our goals, and then we examined the entire text and finally, 4 studies were selected. In addition to reviewing the literature, the results are extracted and enter the meta-analyzer stata14, which summarizes the final results. Result: CBCT observer-based planning gives more homogeneity of treatment plans as compared to the surgical gold standard. Further, complications were predicted better when the planning was based on CBCT images.Conclusion: Hat either PAN or CBCT can be reliably utilized to determine the preoperative implant width.Key words: dental implant, treatment planning, systematic review
