Computerized tomography (CT) scanning, now widely used for the diagnosis and treatment planning of dental implant sites, can be more specifically useful with integrated computer software. In this instance, the potentially critical incisive foramen area at the premaxilla is analyzed to better under stand its configuration and volume relative to the placement of root-form implants.
