Any tips for evaluating a grafted site through CBCT to see if its ready for the implant? I hate not knowing if the bone is dense enough until I’ve flapped and started the osteotomy

To be honest I find it easier and more reliable taking a 2D b/w and p/a that will give you a good idea along with the patient history (healing time) and their medical history. CBCT good as well to see if larger soft tissue defects but can be misleading slice by slice on the cbct so I like to get a b/w and p/a of the site every time as well

@restoredsmiles agreed. I generally wait 3 months for most patients but if there is some wound delay condition like diabetes smoking or taking meds that may healing I wait 5 months. Better safe than sorry!
