The fine dexterity and tactile skills of experienced dentists have always been the predominant way of judging implant stability.
Today, there is a great electronic counterpart – extremely accurate and completely objective.
The Osstell Mentor is a unique digital probe that emits and measures implant stability through resonance frequency analysis. Supervising osseointegration has never been easier.
You can make optimal load decisions and get early problem signals. Osstell Mentor gives you a precise stability measurement for every implant every time. |

Despite the evolution of implant designs and surfaces it will always be you, the treating doctor, together with your patient, who makes the decision when to load.
It is a complex decision that involves not only the patients' wishes and general situation, but of course also sevral odontoligical parameters. One of the most important factors is the stability of the implant.
The degree of implant stability is hard to determine once the implant has started to integrate. Also, at placement, stability is difficult to judge objectively and the "tactile feeling" or torque measurements will not work as a baseline for future comparisons.
Osstell Mentor makes it possible not only to measure the initial implant stability, but also to monitor the development of osseointegration over time. |

Fig 1.
The lateral stability of an implant depends on the regidity of the bond between the implant surface and the surrounding bone. This rigidity can easily be measured. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
If the bone is non-homogenous, the SmartPeg® automatically vibrates in two modes - indicating the highest and the lowest stability directions. The instrument therefore provides a correct value for the highest as well as the lowest stability of the implant. |

1. The SmartPeg is attached to an implant.
2. The hand-held probe stimulates it magnetically.
3. The displayed ISQ value will reflect the degree of stability. The scale is from 1 to 100; the higher the ISQ, the more stable the implant. |

The instrument kit
The instrument is compact, hand-held and easy to use. Measurement results are displayed, stored in memory and can be transferred to a computer via the optional docking station.
It is powered by a rechargeable battery and is delivered with a measurement probe, a power adapter, a test block and manuals.

The docking station kit
The docking station is the communication unit for transferring measurements to your computer.
It also serves as a charging station and holds the instrument when the measurement probe is used detached from the instrument, connected via a probe cable. The kit includes the docking station, the probe cable and a USB cable.

The SmartPegs
The SmartPeg is attached to the implant or abutment when a measurement is made. It is easy to mount and requires minimal space thanks to its small size. SmartPegs are available for most major implant systems. They are single-use and delivered sterile.
