What some of our users say

My primary use of the Osstell Instrument in my clinic is to evaluate each implant at the time of placement and again at the second stage abutment connection. This allows for an objective way to evaluate the implant healing and gives some indication of the short term and long term success. Progression of numbers will allow for an understanding of the bone quality and stability of the implant during all phases of treatment. Specially, I use the Osstell at immediate load or early loading depending on what these definitions mean to the clinician

As a surgical specialist, I work closely with my restorative colleagues. When immediate and early loading treatment is selected, I need certainty in communicating implant stability. Osstell ISQ gives me a “number” I can provide as a tangible measurement of stability. If changes in loading protocols are appropriate, I can provide a numerical value that makes sense and keeps all members of the team on the same page. I value this technology and feel it has only just begun to demonstrate all of its applications in clinical practice.

Osstell has been a huge bonus to my practice. Prior to the application of resonance frequency it was always guesswork, subjective guesswork, as to the state of the implant. often an implant could appear to be integrated and yet one would find that some weeks or months later that interface broke down. Osstell now allows me to have an objective scale if you like, a scale of integration. I use this routinely on all implants that I place, we assess the initial primary stability and then we re-assess three months later, prior to loading.

There is no treatment that can be compared with Osstell’s method as traditional methods are highly subjective. Osstell’s ISQ diagnostic makes it possible to discern when osseointegration is sufficient to proceed with restoration. I use Osstell in every implant treatment since it reduces the treatment time of the patient, increases the safety and prognosis of treatments and is based on clinical evidence. The communication with the patient is also easier with the ISQ scale as they can see by numbers when it is the right time to load the implant.

I recently purchased the W&H Osstell ISQ module for our existing Implantmed surgical unit to determine the stability of implants at placement and during restoration,” says Dr Vivak Shah, Principal of Saving Smiles, Weedon. “I’ve been very impressed with the performance so far, and it’s already proven to be an invaluable tool in providing objective measurements and acting as a guideline for placement. “Together with the Implantmed, the Osstell ISQ module gives me better timelines and allows me to accurately assess the appropriate time gaps. This in turn ensures more predictable results and helps to speed up the treatment process for the patient too. “The customer service was superb as well, so I would definitely recommend W&H for the Osstell ISQ as well as their other products.

Osstell gives me confidence that the implants are stable.

Osstell gives me confidence in integration.

Osstell helps me to feel better on the day I have to tighten my final restoration without thinking “Will this implant turn?” because I know Osstell did its job.

Osstell give me confidence for early loading.
