The surgery of an osseointegrated dental implant
must be executed under controlled conditions and
surgical asepsis and should aim at a solid and direct
conection between the bone and the implant,
and should be as less traumatic as possible to the
patient. The decision for an osseointegrated dental
implant must be preceded by a complete treatment
plan, based on visual inspection, panoramic and
periapical radiographies, aiming at determining the
anatomic limits, the occlusal conditions, the periodontal
status and patient osseous condition. This
analysis can be enriched with lateral cephalometric
radiography and CAT scans.
