The SmartPeg is used together with the measurement instruments Osstell IDx or Osstell ISQ. Both instruments measure the resonance frequency of a SmartPeg, when it is attached to an implant. The SmartPeg is attached to the implant or abutment when a measurement is made. It is easy to mount and requires minimal space thanks to its small size. To avoid damage to the implant, the SmartPeg material is quite soft, which limits the lifetime of the threads.
Why Osstell?
Safety
Our method eliminates chance. When measuring the implant stability, you will get an objective value, making the implant treatment more predictable - even for patients with risk factors.
Reduced Time
Immediate loading is becoming more and more common. Patients want results fast. With Osstell, you only wait as long as needed.
Proven Method
Backed by more than 1000 scientific studies, our method is based on RFA to determine whether or not an implant is stable enough. The result is presented as an ISQ value of 1-100. The higher the ISQ, the more stable the implant.
