The role of stability measurements of the Baha® system in children

Resonance frequency analysis in bone‐anchored hearing aids: Patient demographics and an approach to assess implant stability

“…Another prospective study evaluating ISQs for 52 adult patients having BI300 implants revealed that there was a significant initial drop in the ISQs of −1.69 ISQs but by 6 weeks, the mean ISQs had returned to baseline . A study by Felton et al which included 10 cases revealed a similar pattern of initial drop in the mean ISQs at 1 week postoperatively with the levels regained by 6 weeks. These longitudinal studies state that the stability measurements may not be required if satisfactory RFA measurements are achieved at 4‐6 weeks.…”

“…All underwent a single stage procedure with no tissue reduction; all patients had a 4 mm inner screw, the outer abutment length related to soft tissue thickness (6,8,10,12 and 14 mm outer abutment).…”

Clinical results of Cochlear™ BIA300 in children: Experience in two tertiary referral centers

“…The reduced frequency of implant loss for the new generation implant was expected based on the results of implant stability studies in adult patients, seen in the clinical trial by Dun et al [2]. Implant stability studies on the BIA300 have also been conducted in pediatric [13], Marsella et al [14] Felton et al [15] and Mierzwinski et al [16]. These studies report favorable results on implant stability for the new implant.…”
