Implant stability quotient (ISQ) from Osstell is the only product on the market to be supported by over 1500 clinical studies and has been proven in multiple studies[i] to be a reliable indication of the stability of a dental implant. The Osstell Beacon from W&H, used with the SmartPeg is an excellent solution to measure and monitor ISQ.
The SmartPeg, a high-precision metal peg, is attached to the implant, and tightened to 4-5 Ncm, or finger-tight. The measurement of stability can then be taken by the Osstell Beacon without jeopardising the healing process.
The ISQ scale can be used to gauge the stability of a dental implant from the moment it is placed, and throughout the healing process to ensure secondary stability is on track. This accurate monitoring enables you to take quick action if a drop in stability is discovered, greatly improving the chance of achieving successful final outcome especially in patients with high risk factors.
