Summary
This systematic review found a negative correlation between the Periotest value (PTV) and implant stability quotient (ISQ) in dental implant stability. These findings apply to both primary and secondary stability assessments.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Biomaterials Science
- Clinical Research Methodology
Background:
- Evaluating dental implant stability is crucial for successful osseointegration and long-term prognosis.
- Existing methods for assessing implant stability include resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and Periotest measurements.
- Understanding the relationship between different stability assessment tools is essential for accurate clinical decision-making.
Approach:
- A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to January 29, 2023.
- Studies were included if they were clinical, in English, involved human subjects with dental implants, and evaluated the correlation between Periotest value (PTV) and implant stability quotient (ISQ).
- Eight studies were selected for full-text analysis after screening 46 articles.
Key Points:
- A significant negative correlation was observed between PTV and ISQ across the included studies.
- This inverse relationship was consistent regardless of the type of implant stability assessed (primary or secondary).
- The findings indicate that as the Periotest value increases, the implant stability quotient tends to decrease, suggesting reduced stability.
Conclusions:
- There is a clear negative correlation between the Periotest value and implant stability quotient for both primary and secondary dental implant stability.
- This review provides valuable insights into the relationship between these two common methods for assessing implant stability.
- The findings can inform future research and clinical protocols for evaluating dental implant stability.
