Abstract: This study evaluates the role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in pre-operative planning for dental implant placement in a tertiary hospital setting. A total of 50 patients underwent CBCT-guided implant placement, allowing for precise visualization of bone structures and enhanced surgical predictability. The findings demonstrated significant improvements in implant placement accuracy, reduced complications, and high patient satisfaction. CBCT was found to be an indispensable tool in implantology, despite concerns about radiation exposure. Future research should focus on reducing radiation doses and exploring the use of CBCT in more complex scenarios.
