optimal implant loading decisions

Three reasons why you need Osstell ISQ. With a success rate above 95%, who needs diagnostics? Implant treatment is one of the most predictable dental therapies, with near-perfect success rates. However, the nature of the treatment is evolving. Today, more patients ask for immediate loading of their implants. And patients who in the past might not have been candidates for implants ask to be treated, too. This naturally puts greater requirements on the dentists and the technology. Allowing early loading, and successfully treating risk patients – despite the less favorable odds – create a need for...

ISQ. The blessings of a universal scale. Osstell ISQ. Comfortable, fast and easy to use. ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) is a measurement scale for use with the RFA (Resonance Frequency Analysis) method of determining implant stability. It’s a mapping of resonance frequencies (kHz), presented as a clinically useful scale of 1-100 ISQ. Here is how ISQ works and what it achieves. The Osstell ISQ meter stimulates a SmartPeg™ mounted on the implant, by emitting magnetic pulses. These cause the SmartPeg to resonate with certain frequencies depending of the stability of the implant. The resonance...

Meet Osstell ISQ. And the pe     ople behind it. The instrument kit The actual Osstell instrument (1 below) is attractively designed, compact and very easy to use. Measurement results are clearly visible on the large display. They are also stored in memory and can be transferred to a Windows PC using a USB cable (4). The meter is powered by a rechargeable battery and is delivered with a measurement probe (2), a mains plug (3), a testing device (5) and user manuals.
