A Survey on Dental Imaging for Building Classifier to Benefit the Dental Implant Practitioners

Endo-osseous implants are considered an ideal dental fixture. It is becoming the preferred choice of the edentulous patient to rehabilitate toothlessness because of their aesthetic and functional outcome. Despite the successful surgery and implant placement, complications occur, which may be related to several factors, like operative assessment, treatment planning, patient-related factors, surgical procedures, and surgeons' experience. Comprehensive radiological assessment plays a vital role in clinical analysis for better treatment planning, avoiding complications, and increasing the Implant's success rate. However, despite the variety of dental imaging, choosing the right imaging technology has become difficult for clinical experts. The investigative survey conducted in this paper aims to determine the correlation between different imaging modalities, their essential role in implant therapy. This review extensively discussed which types of computational operations applied to image modalities in the existing literature address various noises and other relevant issues. These study findings reveal significant issues with various dental imaging modalities and provide an understanding to bridge all existing research gaps towards building cost-effective classification and predictive models for accurate dental treatment planning and higher implant success rates.
