Stability of dental implants using AnyCheck and Osstell devices

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Biomaterials Engineering
• Medical Devices

Background:

• Implant stability is a critical factor for successful dental implant treatment outcomes.
• Accurate assessment of primary and secondary implant stability is essential for predictable results.
• Existing methods for stability assessment include resonance frequency analysis (Osstell®) and damping capacity assessment (AnyCheck®).

Purpose of the Study:

• To compare the performance of Osstell® and AnyCheck® devices in assessing dental implant stability.
• To evaluate the reliability of two distinct implant stability measurement techniques in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

• A total of 30 dental implants were placed in 20 patients in both the maxilla and mandibular areas.
• Primary and secondary implant stability were measured using both Osstell® and AnyCheck® devices.
• Comparative analysis of stability data obtained from the two assessment methods.

Main Results:

• Both Osstell® and AnyCheck® methods showed comparable performance in evaluating implant stability.
• The data indicated similar trends in primary and secondary stability measurements between the two devices.
• No significant differences were observed in the performance of the two stability assessment tools.

Conclusions:

• Osstell® and AnyCheck® are both effective tools for assessing dental implant stability.
• The findings suggest that damping capacity assessment (AnyCheck®) offers a viable alternative to resonance frequency analysis (Osstell®) for clinical use.
• Clinicians can confidently utilize either device for monitoring implant stability during treatment.
