Case History Report: Cone Beam Computed Tomography for Implant Insertion Guidance in the Presence of a Dense Bone Island

This article describes the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to diagnose a dense bone island (DBI) to facilitate implant insertion guidance in a patient followed up for 4 years. Suitable image-directed preplanning and periodic review by CBCT scanning is recommended when a jaw DBI is encountered in treatment planning for implant placement.
