Relationship Between Implant Stability Measurements Obtained by Two Different Devices: A Systematic Review

Abstract

It can be considered that there is not always a consensus and standardization in the classification of implant stability related to the values obtained by RFA and DCA devices, which could create disagreements and miscommunication among dentistry professionals.

Evaluation of dental implant stability in bone phantoms: Comparison between a quantitative ultrasound technique and resonance frequency analysis

“…The values of the ISQ are shown to increase when (1) trabecular density increases (see Figure 3), (2) cortical thickness increases (see Figure 4), and (3) the insertion depth increases (see Figure 6). These results are in agreement with previous studies 11,14,17,34 and can be explained by the higher rigidity of the block-implant system induced by an increase in trabecular density, cortical thickness, and implant insertion depth.…”

“…28,34 However, the artificial bone blocks are adapted to mimic the healthy jaw bone because the mean bone mineral density was 0.31 g/cm 3 for the posterior maxilla and 0.55 g/cm 3 for the anterior maxilla. Note that both techniques had been validated previously independently in vivo.…”

Relationship between implant stability measurements obtained by insertion torque and resonance frequency analysis: A systematic review

“…16 The periotest is another method used to assess implant stability, however, this device is less used and popular than Osstell and the values cannot be compared. 17 Therefore, is better to understand the IT and Osstell method, because these are the most commonly used methods.…”

“…Although neither the ISQ or IT have been validated, 17 it is important to know whether the IT and ISQ values are comparable. Both methods can be used in clinics, especially because the ISQ has been widely used due to being applicable in different situations, such as at the time of implant insertion, during the healing period, and with the prosthesis in function.…”
