Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) digital technology is rapidly altering dentistry practice, with photogrammetry emerging as a precise, efficient, and minimally invasive approach for capturing intraoral anatomy and implant locations. Its increasing significance stems from its ability to overcome the drawbacks of traditional impression procedures, lower clinical mistakes, improve passive fit, and improve patient comfort particularly in implant dentistry. This review attempts to describe the applicability, accuracy, and practical feasibility of photogrammetry in implantology. A narrative literature search was conducted using major scientific databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library, along with relevant textbook chapters. Studies were selected based on their focus on photogrammetry systems, close-range photogrammetry, implant-position recording, and comparisons between photogrammetry, conventional impressions, and digital intraoral scanning techniques. This approach ensured the inclusion of studies most relevant to evaluating the role of photogrammetry in contemporary digital dentistry.
