Accurate stability measurements for successful immediate placement

  Posted by: Dental Design      6th May 2021

When it comes to immediate implant placement, primary stability is absolutely essential to achieving a successful outcome.

To assess primary stability there are a number of methods that can be employed. The most patient friendly and effective technique is resonance frequency analysis (RFA), which provides a non-invasive, objective method of assessing implant stability based on qualifiable data, without jeopardising osseointegration or the healing process. It uses vibration and a principle of structural analysis to measure the resonance frequency of a transductor attached to the implant body.

Using the award-winning Implantmed Sl-1023 with Osstell ISQ module from W&H, implant stability can be measured reliably and accurately. The ISQ is especially useful when treating patients at higher risk of implant failure due to poor integration. Together with the quantitative data provided, practitioners can carry out immediate placement with the confidence that there is suitable stability to support optimal treatment outcomes.

The Implantmed also offers a coherent means of communicating with patients. Thanks to the tangible readings, discussions between the patient and clinician about progress and healing times can be illustrated more easily.
