Sažetak
Osseointegration is a structural and functional connection between the bone surface and the dental implant surface. The stability of dental implants is accomplished by direct contact between the bone tissue and the titanium-oxides on implant surface. Recently, a clinical instrument has been developed to analyze the resonance frequency by using a new unit called the implant stability quotient (ISQ). Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish whether the ISQ level depends on the age and gender, implant diameter and length and implant position, that is, could successful osseointegration be predicted by these parameters. Material and Methods: This study included 30 patients, 17 females and 13 males aged between 23 and 71. The total number of implants was 53. The Straumann implants system, type Standard Plus with a sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) surface was used. Results: Six weeks after the surgery, the patients had a follow-up exam and the ISQ levels were measured by Osstell. Univariate analysis of variance has shown significant difference of ISQ value regarding gender as well as between ISQ and implant width. No statistically significant correlation was shown in relation of ISQ and different age groups, implant length and implant placement These are preliminary results that need to be confirmed in some future studies that will include more patients.
