How to increase patients comfort and treatment perception by the use of digital tools combined with RFAThe evolution of technology in the dental field has given us tools to offer optimal patient care. In this lecture, we will show how to synergistically use digitals tools such as 3D intra-oral scanners in combination with resonance frequency analysis (RFA).
At the time of implant placement, the RFA analysis of the implant is a mandatory exercise to control not only the primary stability but also to closely follow up the osseointegration. In cases in which the aesthetic demand is low, such as implants in posterior healed sites, at the time of implant placement, we can take the digital impression for the definitive crown if the implant shows correct RFA values. After a certain healing time, another RFA analysis of the implant will tell us when the implant is ready to be loaded with the anatomically-designed crown. Using this approach combining these different technologies, we are gaining control on our treatment, reducing considerably treatment times, increasing predictability and most important, making the life of our patients better.
Learning objectives:
- Understand when a RFA analysis is suitable in our implant patients.
- Learn how to control healing and loading tempos by the use of RFA.
- Develop a strict protocol using digital tools and RFA to shorten treatment time and increase predictability.

Thanks a lot!
Tanx
Thank you!!!
Thank you.
Good night. We thank U all.
Thank you very much
Thank you Prof. Cooper! I do absolutely agree- our students (or dentists) have to understand the process before learning special tools- as said before: “a fool with a tool is still a fool!”
Great webinar’s
Thanks
Thank you
How do you foresee AI impacting the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostic processes in implant dentistry?
Dr.Schallhorn do you think that it is better to place an implant that has the longest length available or is it better to be safer using smaller lengths not to endanger biological domains like the sinus? T
hank you!
Hi everybody
Hi I’m just starting my Implant journey and Im planning to use ISQ from the beginning.
Thank you
Do you communicate ISQ data with your referrals?
Thank you. Best – Dr B Impladent Inc http://www.CaltexPress.com
What do you consider crucial when discussing treatment option with your patients?
You highlighted that implants with ISQ values below 50 are typically removed upon installation. In a case, a woman had an ISQ value considerably below 50, yet experienced a highly successful healing process. What are your insights on the factors you believe contributed to the success of this case?
HI
Do you measure implant stability for all patients, or is it primarily focused on those with one or more identified risk factors?
Good evening
Hi good evening
Has the use of ISQ made you use 1-stage more often instead of 2-stage?
How do you communicate the ISQ to patients and what is typical feedback from the patients?
In your initial discussion about the critical bone at the start of your presentation, you indicated that the presented protocol is applicable only when there is sufficient bone volume. If a bone graft is necessary, would you still do the ISQ measurement? What range of ISQ values would be anticipate
Thank you for joining The OSSTELL ISQ Symposium! If you have any questions for our experts about today’s presentations, please write them in this chat box and they will be addressed during the Q&A sessions and during the Panel Discussion at the end.
