Abstract

Standard dental radiographs allow the clinician to make an assessment of marginal bone loss around implants. Radiovisiography is useful as it produces an instant image at a lower radiation dose. Only a relatively small deviation from the correct angulation may make it difficult to compare with the baseline radiographs and evaluate marginal bone loss. In this article a radiographic technique with the help of intra- oral grid was used to evaluate the bone loss around the implants. The conventional intra oral holder with intra- oral grid was indexed by the use of soft  putty which helped in reproducing positioning of the holder for evaluation of crestal bone loss a er the implant placement around the implants.
