 Conventional periapical and panoramic imaging is still very useful for treatment planning. Although CBCT is essential in planning, it can be difficult to appreciate the crown and root position of teeth adjacent to the planned site, because any given slice will vary. Clinicians who rely upon one slice during placement may encounter issues with proximity of the implant to the adjacent teeth.

 When using surgical templates, ensure windows are cut out of the template adjacent to the implant sites to allow the clinician to visualise that the template fits accurately. These windows can be located in different parts of the template as well as in close proximity to the osteotomy site.

 Practise the ALARA principle in radiographic imaging and, when possible, reduce the FOV to the ROI. Most modern CBCT machines are able to reduce FOV, thus lowering any dosage to patients.
