What is Osstell SmartPeg?
The SmartPeg is used together with the Osstell devices, which measure the resonance frequency of a SmartPeg, when it is attached to an implant or an abutment. It is easy to mount and requires minimal space thanks to its small size.
What is a smart peg?
SmartPegs are high precision small metal bars, which are screwed into the implant for the measurement. SmartPegs are easy to insert and need narrow spaces in the patient’s mouth. SmartPegs are for single patient use only and are available for different implant systems.
How do you use Penguin RFA?
To take the stability measurement, connect the MulTipeg to the implant and aim the Penguin RFA instrument toward the magnet at the top of the peg. The peg is stimulated by magnetic pulses and vibrates due to the stiffness in the contact area between the bone and implant interface.
What is Periotest?
[3] Periotest is a dynamic device designed to provide objective measurement of tooth mobility by assessing damping characteristics of periodontium; it does not require fixing a rigid measuring apparatus on the teeth.
How is implant stability measured?
The methods to determine implant stability clinically are clinical perception, percussion test, reverse torque test, cutting torque resistance analysis, periotest RFA. The clinical perception of primary implant stability is frequently based on the mobility detected by blunt ended instruments.
What is Periotest value?
| Periotest Value Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| -8 to 0 | Good osseointegration; the implant is well integrated and pressure can be applied to it |
| +1 to +9 | A clinical examination is required: the application of pressure on the implant is generally not (yet) possible |
How does resonance frequency analysis work?
A special probe and sensor are used to assess a dental implant’s resonance frequency. The sensor is attached to the implant and the probe emits impulses; the sensor will vibrate in response and the probe reads the frequency at which the sensor vibrates (Figure 1).
How do I know if my implant is primary stability?
Noninvasive/nondestructive methods for assessing implant stability
- The surgeon’s perception.
- Radiographical analysis/imaging techniques.
- Cutting torque resistance (for primary stability)
- Insertion torque measurement.
- Reverse torque.
- Seating torque test.
- Modal analysis and Implatest.
- Percussion test.
What is primary stability in implants?
Primary implant stability is defined as the biomechanical stability upon implant insertion, being influenced by numerous factors, such as: bone quantity and quality, the geometric design of the implant, surgical technique, and insertion torque.
How does the Periotest work?
The Periotest measuring procedure is electromechanical. An electrically driven and electronically monitored tapping head percusses the test object (tooth or implant) 16 times. The entire measuring procedure requires approx. 4 seconds.
What is a Periotome?
Periotomes are specialized extraction instruments designed to be placed in the periodontal ligament space with vertical pressure along the long axis of the tooth root. These instruments are thinner and flatter than conventional elevators.
How does Osstell work?
How does the Osstell technique work? The SmartPeg, with its magnet on top, works like a small tuning fork. The magnet is emitted with magnetic pulses from the probe which makes the SmartPeg vibrate. Due to the stiffness in the interface between the implant surface and the bone the SmartPeg will vibrate accordingly.
What is the Osstell smartpegs app?
We are happy to introduce you to the Osstell SmartPegs App. It is designed to help you quickly find the right SmartPeg™ for even easier Osstell ISQ measurements on implants and abutments. It is available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
What is the SmartPeg used for?
The SmartPeg is used together with the measurement instruments Osstell IDx or ISQ which measure its resonance frequency, when it is attached to an implant. The SmartPeg is used together with the measurement instruments Osstell IDx or Osstell ISQ.
What is the difference between smartpegs and original Smart pegs?
SmartPegs are single patient use, as reusing them can result in inaccurate readings or damage to the implant. Sorry, your browser doesn’t support embedded videos. With over 25 years of clinical and scientific validation of Osstell ISQ, backed by 1200 scientific studies, the original SmartPegs are the actual measuring device.
What is osstellconnect?
