A new color drawing, ostensibly prepared for use in a malpractice suit, clearly portrays nerve insult from incorrect drilling and implant placement procedures. Avoiding these conditions is the responsibility of the dentist and/or oral surgeon. The location of all nerve features in three dimensions is only possible with CBCT - cone beam computed tomography -- as detailed throughout this website.

Once again, science and technology to the rescue!
Standard dental implants are now the preferred way to replace missing and damaged teeth, regain lost chewing function and rebuild confidence after a long period without teeth. For an increasing number of patients, implants are now recommended instead of dentures. For front teeth, implants offer a cosmetically attractive smile in what dentists call the aesthetic zone. For these reasons, implants have rapidly become a mainstream but expensive treatment. Is your dentist properly trained to offer them?
Murry Shohat's insight:
Just updated, this durable article continues to offer good guidance to patient and dentist alike.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has now been available in North America for more than a decade, and in that time it has become a vital part of many orthodontic practices, bringing added value to pretreatment diagnosis and treatment planning. The fact is CBCT provides a clearer view of patient anatomy and pathology, without the distortions or superimpositions of conventional imaging.
Murry Shohat's insight:
The orthodontic perspective provides a foundation tor use of 3D CBCT as the standard of care throughout dentistry.

Terrific YouTube Video
This entertaining YouTube video clearly demonstrates the value of cone beam computed tomography. The dentist employs the 3D images to measure clearances and available bone for treatment planning. Note the emphasis on a 2mm safety margin to avoid nerve bundles and foramina. Five Stars!

Wow, entertaining and informative. Very good presentation details why implant patients need 3D imaging for treatment planning and implant placement. Note the clear 2mm safety zone called for by this expert.

In this case report, I shall demonstrate a surgical guide manufactured in-house using the CEREC Bluecam (Sirona). These guides do not require any impressions to be sent to a third party and can be made rather cheaply in the surgery within around 30 minutes. The guide can then be used in conjunction with specific drill keys, which are compatible with the guided surgery drill sets from all leading implant manufacturers.

Very good article offers rich information for patient and clinician alike. Great illustrations.

Pretty good demonstration. Patients -- your dentist absolutely needs to locate your nerve canal and associated mental foramen (MF). The MF carries the dental nerve into your lip and chin. CBCT enables precise location so both the canal and MF can be avoided during surgery.
