Monitor Osseointegration

Implant Stability Checker

    • Removes doubt!
      Today, the trend in implant dentistry is to have short or no healing period at all before loading. This places a great demand on the clinical team. If conditions are not optimal, poor primary stability may increase the risk of implant failure.
    • The PenguinRFA measures implant stability and osseointegration to provide sufficient information to make a decision when to load an implant. This is especially important when using procedures with shorter treatment times or treating at-risk patients.

Just mount the MulTipeg™, aim for the top and the ISQ value will be displayed in less than a second. Values above 70 means high stability and are typically recommended for one-stage and immediate loading.

MulTipegs™ Driver

The Driver is made of stainless steel and works like a screwdriver and a carrier for the MulTipeg. Since the MulTipeg has a magnet in its top it will attach safely inside the Driver.

Procedure

• By mounting a MulTipeg the measurement is made in a second. Just aim for the magnet on top of the MulTipeg. Non-invasive, objective, accurate and repeatable.

Implant Stability Checker

technique behind and
the ISQ scale

• The technique behind the Penguin RFA is called Resonance Frequence Analysis (RFA) and the measurement unit is named Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ).

• The peg is excited by magnetic pulses and vibrates due to the stiffness in the contact area between the bone and the implant surface.Once attached to an implant, magnetic pulses cause the MulTipeg™ to vibrate. The instrument measures the frequency of the vibration and translates it to an ISQ scale value between 1 and 99. The higher the ISQ value, the better the stability. RFA measures implant stability as a function of interface stiffness, which correlates with implant displacement, i.e. micro-mobility. The local bone density determines the ISQ value, and is influenced by factors such as the implant placement technique, implant design and healing time. Implants with low and/or dropping ISQ values seem to pose an increased risk for failure compared with implants with high and/or increasing values.

The Penguin RFA Monitor

ISQ-scale and clinical guidelines

• Values above ISQ 70 indicate a very stable implant with low micro-mobility. This value is typically recommended for one-stage and immediate loading. A second measurement is recommended before the final restoration to verify osseointegration.

Implant Stability Checker

Osseointegration

• Values in the range of 75 ISQ means the implant is already so stable that osseointegration cannot add stability in a significant way. The proof of osseointegration is the lack of a drop in ISQ.

FAQ

Penguin II

A: MulTipegs are made from durable titanium with sealed magnets, are re-usable and can be autoclaved for sterility. They are calibrated against a reference to ensure consistent ISQ values, making it easier to compare different implant systems. The laser-marked MulTipegs are tissue-friendly.

A: PenguinRFA used together with the reusable MulTipeg™ gives essentially the same ISQ readings as Osstell ISQ used with disposable SmartPegs. However, MulTipegs are calibrated against a reference to ensure consistent ISQ values between different implants. MulTipegs must be used to get the benefits of the calibrated system.

A: Although in principle the two systems give the same ISQ values for an implant (however, see the question above about the calibration standard), they are not directly exchangeable. If PenguinRFA is used with Osstell Smartpegs, the measurements need to be adjusted according to this table. If an Osstell instrument is used with MulTipegs, use this table instead. This is because MulTipegs™ and Smartpegs® are made from different materials (titanium vs. aluminium). MulTipegs must be used to get the benefits of the calibrated PenguinRFA system.

A: Using, washing and autoclaving a MulTipeg™ leads to some wear, and eventually it will need to be replaced. How many uses that will take differs depending on the way it is handled, but the MulTipegTM is validated for 20 autoclave cycles.

A: The reusable MulTipeg™ is made of titanium, a highly biocompatible material.

A: Use a sterile cover with the instrument for use in a sterile environment. Both the MulTipeg and the MulTiPeg Driver are autoclavable.

A: Fully charged batteries will provide more than one hour of continuous measurements. Since the instrument is normally only used for short periods of time, it can be used for many sessions before recharging.

A: The ISQ value requirement differs depending on the surgical protocol (one or two-stage), loading protocol (immediate, early, standard, prolonged) and clinical situation (single tooth, full bridge). More information about how to use the ISQ value can be found here.
