Measurement of dental implant stability by resonance frequency analysis: a review of the literature
2009
Dental implant treatment is an excellent option for prosthetic restoration that is associated with high success
rates. Implant stability is essential for a good outcome. The clinical assessment of osseointegration is based on
mechanical stability rather than histological criteria, considering primary stability (absence of mobility in bone
bed after implant insertion) and secondary stability (bone formation and remodelling at implant-bone interface).
The aim of this study was to review the literature on Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) as a method
for measuring dental implant stability. An online search of various databases was conducted on experimental
and clinical research published between 1996 and 2008. The studies reviewed demonstrate the usefulness of
RFA as a non-invasive method to assess implant stability. Further research is required to determine whether
this system is also capable of measuring the degree of dental implant osseointegration.
