The RFA Technique Background
RFA (Resonance Frequency Analysis) was introduced in implant dentistry more than 20 years ago. A peg attached to an implant is excited and the vibration frequency is picked up by the instrument and presented as an ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) value.
Penguin measures the resonance frequency of the MulTipeg™, which will depend on the stability of the implant. The measurement scale is from 1 to 99 ISQ. The ISQ value correlates strongly to the micro mobility of the implant, which in turn depends on bone quality and osseointegration.
Penguin II – Removes Doubt
Implant dentistry is trending towards a more limited or eliminated “healing phase” prior to loading. This adds pressure on the clinical team because, if case conditions are suboptimal, poor primary stability could increase the risk of implant failure. The Penguin solves this problem by accurately and predictably measuring implant stability to support of the dentist’s decision of when to load the implant, improving outcomes for the patient.
