BOX #2: Preece’s Principles for CBCT Usage:
1. Proper training and improved diagnostic skill-set development for the dentist in evaluating CBCT images. Attend CE courses, or participate in the AAOMR CBCT Certification Program, also Chapter 4 in Misch’s Avoiding Complications in Oral Implantology is a good starting point.
2. Proper staff training in use of the CBCT equipment and their ability to evaluate images for errors.
3. Establish quality assurance procedures to assure high quality diagnostic images with lowest possible exposure to the patient.
4. Use the smallest ROI [region of interest] for the diagnostic/implant task. You don’t need a full head volume to do two implants – use the smallest volume necessary to cover the implant area.
5. For implant studies, pixel settings should be 0.25 – 0.3 mm; 0.4mm pixel images tend to lack detail and I don’t personally recommend 0.4mm. It is not necessary to use smaller pixel sizes for implants. Where possible, use a 180 degree scan.

Extra-Sinus Zygomatic Implants to Avoid Chronic Sinusitis and Prosthetic Arch Malposition: 12 Years of Experience
This authors of this report looked retro- spectively at the 12-year follow-up results of the treatment and rehabilitation of edentulous maxillae, applying extra-sinus zygomatic implants alone or in combination with intra-sinus zygomatic implants. They recruited 22 patients with 35 zygomatic Brånemark system implants; 24 implants in the standard Brånemark protocol through the sinus; and 11 extra-sinus implants out- side the sinus. Additionally, 147 regular im- plants were placed. The minimum follow-up period was 50 months to a maximum of Figure 3. Orthopantomogram patient with extra-sinus zygomatic implants. 152 months.
