Do You ISQ? Everyone ShouldImplant dentistry has become mainstream dentistry to successfully replace missing single teeth, or to support full-arch restorations. State-of-the-art imaging modalities and treatment planning software provide clinicians with an accurate assessment of potential implant receptor sites for successful free-hand or guided surgery, yet used alone, may not be accurate in predicting when an implant can be loaded, or diagnose the health of a previously placed implant. Insertion torque values have been widely accepted as an indicator for implant stability however, these are highly subjective and may lead to premature loading. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and implant stability quotient values (ISQ) have been proven to provide objective measures at time of placement, and can monitor the progress of osseointegration over time.
This Webinar will address the significance and importance of acquiring ISQ values for a variety of clinical presentations.
Participants will learn:
- Importance of 3-D imaging to assess implant receptor sites
- Immediate or delayed loading decision tree with ISQ
- ISQ as medical-legal documentation for patient records
- Tracking implant health with ISQ and Osstell Connect

Great to see you again Dr Ganz! Thx for a very illuminating talk reinforcing many fundamental concepts. In an immediate ant implant placement without PET, with guided planning and surgery, is an ISQ of 40- 50 a case to worry about? is there room for this to improve with time and predicatability?
Do you need an special device connector for each brand of implants?
Have you ever experienced sequestration in the pet technique. meaning the root fragment becoming loose few weeks after implant placement. Compromising the implant
Amazing presentation ?
A big thank you to everyone for the excellent presentations. Well done.
What planning software you use in this presentation?
thanks!
For the socket shield technique, do you use a specific guide for that or do it on free hand?
Are ISQ and RFA the same?
Does ISQ reveal BIC levels
on various surfaces like SLA and Active and Tiunite ?
Is PET different from socket shield technique?
In the mandibular case with 5 implant placed. What if you have 2 lower ISQ values at implant placement, do you still load immediately ?
Thank you for joining us for the fourth webinar in the OSSTELL ISQ ONLINE SYMPOSIUM! Please write any questions you have for Dr. Ganz in this chat box and they will be addressed at the end of the presentation.
