Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the implant of the maxillas, it is difficult to find sufficient bone volume. Only the canine fossa region, from anterior nasal spine and the anterior margin of the maxillary sinus to the piriform aperture margine, may have enough bone to install implant body, although.
When installing implants to canine fossa region, to grasp the bone shape of canine fossa region and the course of the anterior superior alveolar canal though the dental computed tomography. Images is critical for safe choice of implant size, for selecting installation method, to avoid accidental breeding.
