Abstract

The success of dental implant installment is determined by the condition of alveolar bone itself. Although there is no
legal research of the dental implant treatment failure in Indonesia, but there are some reports which state that there
is a lot of dental implant treatment failure happened which caused by the lack of appraisal of the quality and
quantity of the alveolar bone image which is accurate and optimal in the usement of radioghraphy units. But as the
time goes, the public needed of dental implant treatment begins increased. The purpose of this paper is to introduce
the CT-Scan with Hounsfield Unit sofe ware as a screener to patients for dental implant placement with value bone
mineral density (BMD). The measurement of BMD on alveolar bone before surgery for dental implant installment
must describe local condition and then compared the size with the diameter of dental implant. From the discussion,
it can be concluded that with using the CT-Scan, somebody can be stated get requirement or not for dental implant
placement.
