5. Implant Position
Verification
Goal
The goal is to specify the possible
implant positions. Now, the final implant
planning is performed depending on the
selected concept. The x-ray images must
show calibrated measurement points to
enable measurement of the bone volume
available for the implantation.
Orthopantomogram
Planning films are available in 1:1.25
and 1:1.4 sizes for all implant types to
check the dimensions on the OPG. The
film magnifications match the magnification
factors for most OPGs. However,
they should be considered only as
approximations in implant dimensioning.
Dental Film
To check the dimensions on x-ray film,
the self-adhesive implant planning films
(x-ray transfer pictures) for the specific
implant type should be attached to the
proposed implant positions on the film.
Clinical
The wax-up or set-up must be tried in on
the patient. This allows esthetics to be
included in the plan, such as the smile
line, tooth shade, facial shape and general
presentation of the patient.
