What is Osstell SmartPeg?

What is Osstell SmartPeg?

Osstell SmartPegs are delicate measurement devices. The Osstell instrument vibrates the SmartPeg through magnetic pulses and measures the resonance frequency of it. In order for the SmartPeg to function properly, it needs a firm attachment to the implant or abutment. Always check that the right SmartPeg Type is used.

How does Osstell beacon work?

The Osstell Beacon is activated by a built-in motion sensor. As soon as the motion sensor detects movement, the Osstell Beacon will start-up and shortly show battery status and then be ready for measurement in the BL (Buccal – Lingual) direction, which is indicated in the upper display.

What is Periotest?

The Periotest is the instrument most commonly used for measuring osseointegration in dental implants. It is this ability to measure the finished crown that is of particular value. According to reports, every tenth implant is susceptible to periimplantitis 15 years at the latest following its original insertion.

What does ISQ measure?

ISQ, or Implant Stability Quotient, is a scale from 1 to 100 and is a measure of the stability of an implant. The clinical range of ISQ is normally 55-80. Higher values are generally observed in the mandible than in the maxilla. The ISQ scale has a non-linear correlation to micro mobility.

What is Osstell Isq?

The Osstell ISQ Scale. Osstell’s patented technology uses Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) that measures the frequency with which a device vibrates. ISQ, or Implant Stability Quotient, is a scale from 1 to 100 and is a measure of the stability of an implant.

What is primary stability in implants?

Primary implant stability is defined as the biomechanical stability upon implant insertion, being influenced by numerous factors, such as: bone quantity and quality, the geometric design of the implant, surgical technique, and insertion torque.

What is retrograde periodontitis?

The formation of bacterial plaque on denuded root surfaces, following periodontal disease, has the potential to induce pathologic changes in the pulp through lateral or accessory canals. This process, the reverse of the effects of a necrotic pulp on the periodontal ligament, has been referred to as retrograde pulpitis.

What is ISQ value?

ISQ, or Implant Stability Quotient, is a scale from 1 to 100 and is a measure of the stability of an implant. The ISQ scale has a non-linear correlation to micro mobility.

How do I know if my implant is primary stability?

Noninvasive/nondestructive methods for assessing implant stability

1. The surgeon’s perception.
2. Radiographical analysis/imaging techniques.
3. Cutting torque resistance (for primary stability)
4. Insertion torque measurement.
5. Reverse torque.
6. Seating torque test.
7. Modal analysis and Implatest.
8. Percussion test.

How long does it take for a dental implant to Osseointegrate to the bone?

As the bone heals around the dental implant, a process called osseointegration occurs. This process refers to the permanent bond that is formed as the bone adheres to the dental implant. Full osseointegration may take two to six months.
