Background: With the boom of implant dentistry, practitioners are more concerned about implant related failures which is very common these days. Nevertheless, detailed and accurate treatment planning is advisable to reduce this clinical dilemma. This study was conducted to evaluate different pre surgical factors governing overall prognosis of implant treatment. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted on 30 patients those looking for replacement of single teeth by implant therapy. Basic demographic details related to age, gender was also recorded for all selected patients. Before finalizing treatment planning, a comprehensive analysis was done by studying cone beam computed tomography of all patients. Authors particularly have chosen few imperative pre surgical factors to study like precise site of implant placement, quality and quantity of bone at the osteotomy site, orientation of bone, proximity with any vital anatomical structure. Authors compared actual or clinical length and width of osteotomy site (and implant dimension) with dimensions suggested by cone beam computed tomography. Results were subjected to statistical analysis. P value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: All noticeable findings and data were sent for statistical analysis using statistical software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21. Out of 30 patients, males were 18 and females were 12. In group I, cbct suggested dimension and clinical dimensions were identical. This confirms the clinical usefulness of cbct in pre-surgical planning. P value was highly significant here (0.001). In group II, cbct suggested dimension and clinical dimensions were non-identical. P value was not significant here (0.080). In group III, cbct suggested dimension and clinical dimensions were non-relatable. This could be attributed as faulty and hence not included in the inference. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study authors concluded that all pre surgical factors significantly affect the overall success of implant treatment. Our study results must be considered as suggestive for presuming prognosis for similar clinical conditions. Keywords: Dental implant, Implant planning, Oral Surgery, Prosthodontics.
