Dental implants are becoming the treatment of choice for restoring edentulous sites. Dental implants are typically made of a titanium alloy, and this produces a metallic artifact that obscures adjacent anatomy when imaged with X-rays, specifically on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. These artifacts make it challenging to evaluate peri-implant bone levels and any associated pathology. It was hypothesized that the introduction of ceramic implants would help in overcoming this challenge due to the nature and composition of ceramic. The objective of this study was to compare the metallic artifact produced by ceramic and titanium dental implants when imaged with cone-beam computed tomography. |
