In the interpretation of radiographs showing oral implants a thorough knowledge of their radiographic image is essential. The purpose of the present study was to describe the radiographic image of the Brånemark titanium standard fixture, and to analyze the influence of rotation of fixture in the jawbone as well as angulation of central X-ray beam in relation to longitudinal fixture axis. Especially the influence upon the radiographic image of the thread system, the apical cylindrical perforation, and the four apical vertical cuts is considered.
