Dental Implant Surface Topography and Stability With Resonance Frequency Analysis: An Overview and Case Report.

Dental implants are fixtures that replace a natural tooth that has been missing. The outcome depends on the safety and longevity of the bone-implant relationship. The process of direct and strong anchoring of an implant due to the surrounding bone tissue growing around it is called osseointegration. The establishment of an osseointegrated contact depends on a variety of systemic and local variables and diagnostic methods. Resonance frequency analysis is one of the methods used to analyze implant stability. The surface topography, mainly surface texture and roughness, also helps in promoting a favorable interaction between the implant and biological tissues. This case report aimed to indicate the importance of implant surfaces showing primary and secondary stability and implant stability quotient (ISQ) values that can be analyzed by resonance frequency analysis (RFA) using the Osstell implant device, which can be a useful tool used to determine the risk of failure.
