BRIZUELA-VELASCO, Aritza et al. Accuracy of Resonance Frequency Analysis by Third Generation Osstell^®. Int. J. Odontostomat. [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.3, pp.489-492. ISSN 0718-381X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-381X2015000300021.

The Resonance Frequency Analysis by Osstell® is used in the assessment of primary and secondary implant stability. The aim of this study was to determine its accuracy as a method of testing, checking its repeatability and reproducibility. A pilot study was performed whereby implants were placed in a cow rib to compare several ISQ measurements with the same SmartPeg transducer (repeatability), or with different SmartPegs (reproducibility). Statistical analysis of the data showed a high correlation of the ISQ values obtained in both assays, which suggests that Osstell®analysis can provide high repeatability and reproducibility.

Palabras clave : Osstell; resonance frequency analysis; implant stability; repeatability and reproducibility.
