Radiology Reporting for Dental Implants
BeamReaders Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists can help you review your cross-sectional imaging for implant site assessment! And on top of that, they will systematically evaluate your CBCT volumes for signs of abnormalities ensuring you are covered. 
CBCT is the imaging modality of choice, augmented by your BeamReaders radiologist.

Your BeamReaders oral radiology report will help you get the most out of your CBCT imaging, so you can develop your plan for prosthetic restoration.

Our team of over 70 Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists deliver comprehensive reports, meticulously evaluating bone quality, nerve anatomy, and potential surgical challenges.

This vital information empowers you with the precision needed for optimal implant placement and predictable results.

 
Authoritative Reports
Every radiology report comprehensively evaluates the entire scan volume.  

Identify Anomalies

Confidently identifies critical anatomical anomalies like nerve proximity and variations in bone density to optimize implant planning.

Establish the morphological characteristics of the residual alveolar ridge (RAR)

Review bone volume and quality including vertical bone height, horizontal width and edentulous saddle length to determine the amount of bone volume available for implant fixture placement.

Determine the orientation of the RAR

Determines whether any variations exist that could compromise the alignment of the implant fixture with the planned prosthetic restoration.

 

Identify local anatomic or pathologic conditions restricting implant placement

Identifies internal anatomic features that are not easily identified or localized by the clinical examination or conventional radiographic imaging.

 

Matching the imaging findings to the prosthetic plan

Most studies from panoramic or intraoral radiography alone are inadequate to accomplish implant goals, and provide insufficient information to determine treatment difficulty.

 

Add confidence to your postoperative imaging

Radiographically elucidates what is happening if the patient presents with implant mobility or altered sensation, especially if the fixture is in the posterior mandible.

 
 
AAOMR Position Statement

The AAOMR recommends CBCT imaging as the current method of choice for cross-sectional imaging in that it provides the greatest diagnostic yield at an acceptable radiation dose risk.

Recommendations found in their 2012 position paper also include:
"CBCT should be considered as the imaging modality of choice for preoperative cross-sectional imaging of potential implant sites."

"CBCT imaging should be considered if bone reconstruction and augmentation procedures (e.g., ridge preservation or bone grafting) have been performed to treat bone volume deficiencies before implant placement."
