• W&H Osstell ISQ module

      Measurable stability

      Implant stability can be derived from the insertion torque graph in combination with the precisely measured with the W&H Osstell ISQ module, available as an accessory.
      The measured Implant Stability Quotient is confirmed by numerous clinical trials.

    • Osseointegration

      Measurement result

      ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) is a measurement scale for use with the RFA (Resonance Frequency Analysis) method of determining implant stability.
      It is presented by a resonanced frequency (kHz) on a clinically useful scale of 1 to 100 ISQ.


      Thus, osseointegration can be observed during the treatment progress to diagnose the optimum moment for the load of the implant.

    • SmartPegs

      Measurement of osseointegration

      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.

      Use the Osstell guide to find the SmartPeg that fits your implant.
      Using the wrong SmartPeg for the implant can, and often does, lead to a false reading.

      FAQs

      • Is the ISQ scientifically proven?
        The Osstell ISQ technology is proven by over 1400 scientific studies. These studies have shown, that torque and ISQ correlate. more
      • What’s the difference between torque and ISQ?
        Torque is a one time, static measurement at the time of placement of the implant and cannot be repeated later on in a non-invasive way. Osstell ISQ measures the lateral stability of the implant and the measurements can be repeated in a non-invasive, dynamic way to monitor the development of osseointegration. more
      • Is every new Implantmed compatible with the W&H Osstell ISQ module?
        Yes. All control units SI-1023, SI-1015 and SI-1010 can be upgraded with the W&H Osstell ISQ module more
      • How does the measurement of the ISQ work?
        > To measure the ISQ of an implant, you first screw a so called SmartPeg into the placed implant. The SmartPeg, with its magnet on top, works like a small tuning fork. The magnet on the SmartPeg is ‘hit’ 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. The more dense the bone is the higher stability and the higher ISQ value.

      • Where can I buy the SmartPegs?
        Please contact your local W&H partner
        The sale of SmartPegs will be defined per country
        The surgeon will receive 5 free SmartPegs. A voucher will be provided with the delivery of the product. more
      • What does ISQ stand for?
        The abbreviation ISQ stands for Implant Stability Quotient. It is a value between 1 and 100 and gives the surgeon an insight of the implant stability after placing the implant. With the ISQ value the surgeon can monitor the osseointegration. more
