Why should every dentist integrate ISQ into implant treatments?What role does the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) play in ensuring predictable implant outcomes? How can general dentists effectively integrate ISQ measurements into their treatment protocols? What are the key considerations when deciding on implant loading protocols, and how can they be adapted to daily workflows? Why is progressive loading essential, and how can ISQ guide safer and more predictable implant treatment outcomes?
This webinar will address these critical questions, offering practical insights and strategies to simplify implant protocols and optimize clinical outcomes. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of ISQ and discover how it can refine your approach to implant dentistry.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the relevance of ISQ in implant dentistry, including its role in improving clinical confidence and patient outcomes.
- Incorporate ISQ into routine implant treatments, using it as a reliable tool to guide decision-making and monitor osseointegration.
- Apply simplified and accessible implant loading protocols designed to fit seamlessly into the workflows of general dental practice.
- Implement progressive loading strategies that align with ISQ measurements, ensuring enhanced predictability and success in implant therapy.
- Use ISQ values in combination with other diagnostic tools to deliver a comprehensive, patient-centred approach to implant treatment.
- Analyse practical case studies to understand how integrating ISQ into implant treatments can improve outcomes in general dental practice.

Thank you
Than you!
You mentioned that your referring dentists take Osstell Measurements prior to restoration. Is that all in the same Clinic? How do they communicate their measurements back to you for entry into OsstellConnect?
How easy is it to educate your patients on the Traffic Light system of ISQ measurements and the Beacon?
What do you do if the ISQ doesn’t reach the green light even if you measure 3-4 times? But it is stable in the same range for let’s say 2 readings with 4-6 weeks in between.
Progressive loading if there are more than one implant? And if only one implant? What do you recommend?
I often meet cases with a slight decrease in ISQ but still in the green zone – to be honest, I usually have ISQ >70 in my simple cases, even with a torque <20 Ncm - for example initially 79 and before loading 76. How would you interpret that?
plese define ISQ
If at uncoveryvthe implant is a bit mobile..should we go for progressive loading
I often meet cases with a slight decrease in ISQ but still in the green zone – to be honest, I usually have ISQ >70 in my simple cases, even with a torque <20 Ncm. For example initially 79, before loading (2 months later) 76. How would you interpret that?
You mentioned that you did not understand Osstell ISQ when you started using it. How long did it take you to have full comfort in how to apply ISQ as part of your diagnostics?
What steps would you recommend to a new Osstell user to make sure that your workflow is successful within the operatory and the Clinic as a whole?
When were the magnetic sensors introduced
Dr. Virani, what prompted you to starting using Osstell?
