Dental implants have become a viable choice in treatment planning to replace missing teeth. Case selection in regards to various factors is of utmost importance to have a predictable outcome when considering treatment with dental implants. Advanced diagnostic techniques, using sophisticated software have become invaluable aids in predicting the locations for dental implants. Often the cost and accessibility to such advanced techniques deprive the patients of having a dental implant placed with superior techniques. This article aims to highlight a simple and modified technique using a lateral cephalometric radiograph, which was used to identify the path of implant placement, in a region with unique limitations. Key-words: cephalometric radiograph, surgical guide, dental implant D entistry as a service relies on precision for the quality of its outcomes. Implant dentistry requires a high degree of precision from the stage of planning to the final stages of the restoration. Precision can only be translated into manual dexterity with an accurate visualisation of the area of operation. Advanced technology especially in the field of dental imaging is changing the scenario of treatment planning in all the areas of dentistry. Today, advanced imaging techniques assisted by appropriate hardware and software can help to successfully generate a view of the final implant position. Devices using the recent advances in diagnostic imaging technology are often expensive and far from reach in remote areas. This case report highlights a simple modification that was made to enhance a two dimensional view provided by a lateral cephalogram to enable placement of a dental implant to replace the missing left maxillary lateral incisor, that was complicated by the presence of a narrow space.
