Item ‘Recommendations for the development of a framework for radiological imaging studies during implant therapy in SA’(University of the Western Cape, 2021) Beshtawi, Khaled Raed; Chetty, M.Radiographic examination is an essential facet of dental implant therapy, and the success of this therapy depends on a suitable treatment based on adequate clinical and radiographic information. International organisational bodies have published guidelines on the use of radiographic imaging during implant therapy, but since the cone beam computed tomography modality became available, a need for the development of comprehensive imaging guidelines to limit the misuse of this modality became necessary. There is a lack of stringency regarding the recommendations and guidelines on radiographic imaging modalities used during implant therapy. This is due to variations in practice, experience, and socioeconomic factors. The most recent published global guidelines and recommendations and their relevance to dental implant therapy are described in this chapter.Item The accuracy of the mental foramen position on panoramic radiographs and CBCT(University of the Western Cape, 2017) Beshtawi, Khaled Raed; Parker, M.E.Data was analysed from 31 archived cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and Digital panoramic radiographs (DP) for the same patients taken on the same x-ray machine (Carestream CS9000 3D). The position and demarcations of mental foramen were identified and then compared by means of linear measurements performed using the manufacturer provided software. Distances measured for the mental foramen in CBCT reformatted panoramic views (CRP) and digital panoramic radiographs (DP) were obtained and compared for both the vertical and horizontal positions. CBCT oblique coronal views (CORO) were studied for the vertical position of the mental foramen and compared to those obtained from CRP and DP for the same distance.
