A review on Resonance Frequency Analysis and its use in Implant dentistry !

Everybody loves an immediate loading of implants.

We just love to make tooth in an hour and so.

All the research on imediate loading suggest a great future.

So how do we call an implant to be successful?

Depends on

1. Bone quality

2. Surgeons' skill

3. Surgical technique

4. Implant geometry

5. Implant site preparation

But of all the above, bone quality seems to play a major role.

So how do we assess the stability of the implant?

1. Using hand instruments - Primitive and not accepted

2. Perio Test - Accepted but still controversial

3. RFA - Most accepted way of measuring stability

RFA is nothing but Resonance Frequency Analyzer which provides values in ISQ from 0-100

A good stable implant should have an ISQ value 50-75

One major advantage of RFAs is that they can exactly reproduce the results.

Two Companies offer RFA ( acc to me)

1. Osstell

2. Implomate

If you do more, please temme!

I remember a study which concluded Implomate to be a better bet than Osstell.

But Osstell has real good RFAs which doesn even come in contact with the Implant surface!

Heres an article from PERIO journal exclusively for Perio Craze members!

Authored by Ana Vargas Solana, it just reviews RFA and its usage!

Not enough space for a Standard Implant ! Try a Mini - Implant !

MINI IMPLANTS - Diameter 2.4 mm and others

Much smaller than Standard implants!

Original indication - as a Transitional implant!
Many recent studies show its use beyond being at Transition

Given above is an example of Mini implant Case

Very simple procedure unlike standard implants!

The patient got even her temporary crown fixed within an hour!

Any comments abt the above case !

Why always think of Standard implants!

There is always a life beyond standard implants
