RADIOGRAPHIC DIAGNOSTIC AND IMAGING TECHNIQUES

Since ages, radiographs have been a helpful tool in the diagnosis of periodontal disease and implant dentistry for assessing the effectiveness of treatment. Radiography is now more crucial for periodontal diagnosis and dental implants because to computer-based image acquisition and processing methods. Radiographs can offer vital information for diagnosis and therapy planning, as well as act as a baseline for the evaluation of treatment outcomes. Traditional radiographic tools are ineffective for identifying the areas of ongoing tissue degradation, monitoring the effectiveness of therapy, and assessing susceptibility to further periodontal disease. To get around these restrictions, a number of strategies have been developed, including radiographic diagnostic methods utilized in implant dentistry and periodontics.
