Implant Stability Meter: New Technology Now in Use at Herident Dental Clinic

With the desire to improve the quality and effectiveness of treatment, Herident has pioneered the application of the implant stability meter in the implant process. This modern device allows for assessment of implant stability from the initial stages. So, what is an implant stability meter? Let's find out with Herident Dental Clinic through this article! 

The Importance of Checking Implant Stability

Bone density plays a vital role in maintaining osseointegration and the long-term success of implants. Bone evaluation is an essential step in implant placement. 

Therefore, quantifying stability at different time points during and after implant placement and predicting long-term outcomes based on implant stability measurement tools is important and necessary at any dental clinic.

What is an Implant Stability Meter?

Definition

The implant stability meter – The Trust – results from research and development by dental implant specialists. It is a device that allows assessment of implant stability immediately after placement and in subsequent stages of osseointegration. This helps doctors easily diagnose the implant's condition in the bone early on and can be used as a reference to predict healing time.

Operating Principle

The implant stability meter uses ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient), a clinically recognized index for assessing implant stability based on bone density. It is also influenced by factors such as implant placement technique, implant design, and healing time. 

 According to a study published in Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, an ISQ above 70 indicates a stable level suitable for immediate restoration and increases the chances of successful osseointegration.  

 Benefits of Using the Implant Stability Meter at Herident

Checking implant stability at Herident offers many outstanding benefits, ensuring patients' success and safety in the treatment process.

Ensures Strong Integration Between the Implant and Tissue Structure 

Implant stability is a prerequisite for integrating tissue structures (jawbone and gums). The implant stability meter helps determine the compatibility between the material (ceramic, composite, titanium) and bone tissue. Achieving and maintaining implant stability is a prerequisite for successful clinical outcomes.

Supports Accurate Treatment Planning Decisions 

Using the implant stability meter helps the doctor make accurate decisions about the timing of crown, bridge, and other restorative procedures. This optimizes the treatment plan and minimizes the risk of post-implantation failure.

Increases Patient Confidence and Trust 

Using the implant stability meter at Herident provides patients with peace of mind, knowing that their implant condition is constantly monitored and carefully controlled. This helps build strong trust between the patient and the doctor, ensuring a safe and effective treatment process.

Stores Stable Data for Later Stages of Treatment 

Implant stability measurement results are recorded, creating reference data for subsequent treatment stages. This data helps the doctor monitor the implant's integration process over time while supporting treatment decisions based on the implant's actual stability.

Procedure for Checking Implant Stability at Herident Dental Clinic

Steps 

Step 1: Attach the tips

Step 2: Gently press the power button to turn on the device

Step 3: Cover the device body with a disposable cover 

Step 4: Place the tip firmly against the upper ⅓ of the healing abutment 

Step 5: Press the power button to measure the ISQ

Timing of the Measurement 

Using the stability meter is essential before placing a restoration on the implant. It is an important factor that allows the doctor to decide whether the implant is ready for restoration.

Moreover, it allows assessment of implant stability immediately after placement and in subsequent stages of osseointegration. This helps the doctor easily diagnose the implant's condition in the jawbone early.
