interview | So how did you solve this problem? Studies have shown that bone density at the im- plant site determines the ISQ value and that it cor- relates with the implant’s micro-mobility. This re- flects the clamping ability of the bone, which in turn defines the micro-mobility. The problem is that dif- ferent implant designs behave differently also in the same bone density, depending on surgical technique, design and self-tapping properties. So when calibrat- ing pegs for different implant types, we embedded the different implant types in a dense material in an identical way. In addition, we gave all implants an identical outer geometry by molding each implant type into identical cylinders. The stability of each im- plant/cylinder can then be varied with a clamping de- vice in a standardised manner. This also gave us the possibility to calibrate the pegs over the full ISQ scale and not only for a single value. for the same stability. It is also an excellent method to assure that the peg has an optimal fit to the implant. Why is the above important? RFA is a great clinical tool, however, it is absolutely necessary that the technique is accurate, reliable and is based on a standard reference so that the stability of different implant types can be compared. This is par- ticularly important if the academic and scientific com- munity is going to agree on different clinical protocols based on ISQ values, for instance, when it is safe to ap- ply immediate/early loading protocols. Thank you for the interview._ contact How do you use this calibration method? With the method described above, a reference ISQ/ stability relationship has been established, which is used when manufacturing MulTipegs for different implant designs. Each type of MulTipeg is designed to follow the standard ISQ/stability curve to assure that different types of implants show the same ISQ value Integration Diagnostics Sweden AB Nedergårdsgatan 5 416 54 Göteborg, Sweden Tel.: +46 733 842860 info@penguinRFA.com www.penguinrfa.com 10th Arab-German Congress of Dental Implantology AD 12th – 13th May 2017 | Universiapolis, Agadir, Morocco www.agci2017.e-polytechnique.ma E-Mail: AGCI2017@gmail.com
