Popis: Imaging has always been a part of dental implant procedures from its beginning. Initially, imaging was performed by dentists. The introduction of CT scan at the end of the seventies was revolutionary. Radiologists then played a major role in image generation and distribution. For the last two years, a revolution is occurring with the availability of "cone beam" CT machines in dental offices with implant planning software. The dentist can sometimes administer the entire delivery of care: choice of imaging technique, generation and distribution of imaging data, implant planning and treatment. The radiologist's role is now only conceivable as a specialist in dental imaging, attuned to the evolution of dental implant techniques.
