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

Using Human amnion tissue for treatment of gingival recession! Wow!

"BioCover represents the first allograft composed of amnion tissue for use as a wound covering for the treatment of gingival recession. It offers clinicians and patients an alternative to palatal tissue or allograft dermis tissue for the treatment of shallow to moderate gingival recession."

Courtesy: http://snoasismedical.com Info: From Dr.Muammer Gozlu via facebook

This seems to be a really good product and usage of human amnion tissue in periodontics seems interesting. The company has published a study on this in 2009 J. Implant Adv. Clin. dentistry. I would try to fetch the article for Perio craze readers. It actually contains dehydrated amnion tissue

 

Only 100 grafts have been placed so far, thats what the website claims and further states it has been safe so far! Cant wait to lay my hands on Bio cover!

A Powerpoint on the Art of Conquering Patients! A nice one!

P.gingivalis can reactivate HIV- 1 Virus! A very very new finding in Perio Medicine!

Researchers in Japan has found a striking link between Periodontopathic microorganisms and HIV-1 Reactivation! This is the newest door that is being opened in the field of Perio medicine!

The high concentration of butyric acid from P.gingivalis acts as the inducer for reactivation of latent HIV-1.

May be a Perio Craze reader can do a further research throwing a much better light on this isssue!

Free Journal links for Perio Craze members!

After a tiring day in surgery, was browsing medical pages!

An article to be accessed by a student requires a minimum of $20 ;-( 

And this lingered in my mind, that medical education was getting costlier every passin day!

My personal opinion is that all research material should be available free, so that the world makes better medical professionals! But this never happens!

However, Perio Craze offers two journal links which are available legally free of cost through us!

Two great offers for you!

Offer No. 1. Sage Journals are available free again till October 31st 

(See comment for link)

Offer No. 2. International Poster Journal - Free for Perio Craze members
