Bio3 Penguin RFA Osseointegration Monitor Kit

Description

Manufacturer: Bio3 Implants GmbH

Bio3 Penguin RFA Osseointegration Monitor is a handheld accurate monitoring instrument used for measuring the stability of dental implants in the oral cavity or craniofacial region. In today’s implant dentistry, the trend is to use short or no healing periods before loading. This places high demands on the clinical team. If conditions are not optimal, poor primary stability may increase the risk of implant failure. Bio3 Penguin RFA provides accurate and objective measurements of implant stability, serving as a reliable support when making decisions when to load.

Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) was introduced in implant dentistry more than 20 years ago. A peg attached to an implant is excited and the vibration frequency is picked up by the instrument and presented as an ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) value. Bio3 Penguin RAF measures the resonance frequency of the MulTipegTM, which depends on the stability of the implant. The measurement scale is from 1 to 99 ISQ. The ISQ value correlates strongly to the micro mobility of the implant, which in turn depends on bone quality and osseointegration.

More than 700 articles on the subject have been published in peer-reviewed papers since 1996. You can see references to a selection of the most-important ones here. We especially recommend the summarising article by Prof. Lars Sennerby, which explains the RFA-technique, the ISQ-Scale and how to use PenguinRFA clinically.

• Monitor Osseointegration – Reduces treatment time and removes doubt
• Remove Doubt – Bio3 Penguin RFA measures implant stability & osseointegration to enhance decisions about when to load. Especially important when using protocols with shorter treatment time or treating risk patients
• Objective and Non-Invasive Operation – Bio3 Penguin RFA measures the resonance frequency of the reusable MulTipegTM with a non-contacting technique. The frequency is displayed as an ISQ-value (Implant Stability Quotient) from 1-99. The ISQ value correlates strongly to the micro mobility of the implant.
• Optimised Patient Care – Just mount the MulTipegTM, aim for the top and the ISQ value will be displayed in less than a second. Values above 70 means high stability and are typically used for one-stage and immediate loading. By taking a baseline value at implant placement and another before loading, the degree of osseointegration can be measured.
