Factors influencing resonance frequency analysis assessed by Osstell^™<i>mentor</i> during implant tissue integration: II. Implant surface modifications and implant diameter

Abstract

All ISQ values indicated the stability of Straumann implants over a 12-week healing period. All implants showed a slight decrease after installation, with the lowest ISQ values being reached at 3 weeks. ISQ values were restored 8 weeks post-surgically. It is recommended to monitor implant stability by RFA at 3 and 8 weeks post-surgically. However, neither implant surface modifications (SLActive) nor implant diameter were revealed by RFA.
