Abstract;To observe details in postoperative endosseous implants in the maxillary molar region, a three-dimensional computed tomography (3 DCT) imaging technique was designed. CT examinations were performed on 4 patients in the follow-up stage. Oblique sagittal and oblique coronal imaging planes, which parallel the direction of implant fixtures, were measured using a multiplanar reformatting (MPR) technique. Cross-sectional reformatting slice images, and volume rendering crosscut images using the above imaging planes, were created in 9 implant fixtures, respectively. Sufficient 3 D images were obtained to evaluate the relationship between implant fixtures and the maxillary sinus cavity, three-dimensionally. 3 DCT was a practical imaging technique to evaluate postoperative endosseous implants.
