Resonance Frequency Analysis As A Determinant Of Implant Initial Stability, Negar Tabandeh
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Introduction: The clinicians' decision regarding immediate loading is largely determined by the assessment of initial stability of the dental implant. Computed tomographic assessment of recipient site bone quality, insertion resistance torque and post-insertion resonance frequency are currently the only objective methods of measurement establishing initial stability.
Purpose: A study was designed to measure resonance frequency of root form dental implants placed in cadaver jaws. The resonance frequency values were compared to previous subjective and objective data reported in prior studies in the series.
Materials and Methods: Resonance frequency measurements were secured using the Osstell ™ mentor unit on 4.0 X …
