Cone Beam CT (CBCT)- the latest imaging modality with reduced dosage provides an accurate assessment of the anatomy of the implant site in three dimensions and aids in selecting the exact implant sites and sizes. This case report highlights how to interpret the CBCT datawith theaid of 3D Interactive softwares for diagnosis & treatmentplanning of implant retained mandibular overdenture.
