Intraoral radiography is useful for detecting peri-implant bone lesions. LD-CBCT provides additional information regarding the geometry of defects. The even higher diagnostic accuracy of the HD-CBCT protocol tested needs to be carefully weighed against its radiation dose, which is 14 times higher than that of LD-CBCT.
