Clinical Evaluation of the Osteointegration

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The treatment of the complete or partially edentulous patient with a prothesis supported by dental implants is a procedure with high predictability. Themost important factor is the osteointegration of the implant.
AIM OF PRESENTATION: Analysis of the clinical methods of evaluation of the osteointegration.
DESCRIPTION: The method most commonly used is the intraoral radiograph that allows us to study the level of the bone and to identify radiolucencies around the implant. This technique will be modified by the quality of the X-ray image, the range of the optical system of humans, subjective interpretation and the problem of quantifying. The X-ray is not enough. Digital X-ray systems provide some advantages such us lower exposure to radiation, the possibility of modifying images, measuring lengths and angles, and densitometric studies. The resonance frequency analysis syste(Osstell) is a technique that evaluates the stability of the interface bone-implant. Used when connecting the abutments, it shows us the degree of osteointegration (protocols of early loading).
