Osstell ISQ

Osstell ISQ – your guide to: Predictable Surgical and Restorative Protocols

Resonance Frequency Analysis as a technique to measure implant stability and osseointegration is fast becoming a global diagnostic standard. With more than 500 articles published in scientific journals it is a proven scientific method as a guide to predictable surgical and restorative protocols.

Manage implants at risk - You’ll find Osstell ISQ especially valuable for achieving more predictable
outcomes when treating higher risk patients and implants at risk for failure due to poor integration. Osstell gives you an early warning, as a decreased ISQ value, if osseointegration isn’t progressing as expected. It can help you avoid costs of an implant failure or redoing a crown due to premature loading. Osstell can also assist you in being more confident about treating patients with risk factors, more predictably.

Reduce treatment time - If the initial mechanical stability is high enough a one-stage approach is often used together with immediate- or early loading. By measuring again before the final restoration, and comparing that value to the baseline value taken at placement, the decision whether to proceed or not is made quick and easy. With Osstell as a part of your quality assurance
system it’s also easier to explain treatment planning and healing time to your patients and colleagues. Now Osstell brings you and your patient new certainty.

The ISQ Scale – a global standard
ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) is a measurement scale for use with the RFA (Resonance Frequency Analysis) method of determining implant stability and osseointegration, presented on a clinically useful scale of 1-100 ISQ. The ISQ scale has a strong correlation to micro mobility: the higher the ISQ, the more stable the implant.

Here is how the Osstell ISQ works and what it achieves
The Osstell ISQ instrument stimulates a SmartPeg mounted on the implant, by emitting magnetic pulses. These cause the SmartPeg to resonate at certain frequencies depending on the stability of the implant. This is a wireless non-invasive and completely objective technique. The SmartPegs have been calibrated in such a way that they all show comparable values for the same degree of stability.
