Abstract(summary):

We developed a new method for the measurement of dental implant stability by analyzing the impulse response of the implant. The movement of the implant was measured by an inductive sensor with a dedicated adaptor. The large inductance of the adapter amplified the small displacement signal of the implant. The Periotest (Siemens, Bensheim, Germany) was used as a source of excitation force to acquire the impact response of the implant. Power spectrum analysis was applied to the impact response of the implant. The peak frequency of the spectrum was used as a measure of the implant stability. The performance of the system was tested and verified through simulation of the implant-bone interface in an in vitro model. Various implant-bone interfacial conditions were assessed. Holes of varying depth and diameter were drilled into a dental implantation model. Two types of impression materials (EXAMIXFINE, Regisil Rigid) with different degrees of hardness were used to fix the implant into the hole. The implant stability was also measured using the ISQ (implant stability quotient) by resonance frequency analysis on the Osstell Mentor (Integration Diagnostics AB, Goteborgsvagen, Sweden) for comparison. Linear regression analysis of the peak frequency as a stability parameter showed a linear relationship with both the depth and the diameter of the hole (p < 0.05). When EXAMIXFINE was used, the peak frequency was linearly associated with the depth (R2 = 0.443) and diameter (R2 = 0.396) of the hole. When Regisil Rigid was used, the peak frequency also showed a linear relationship with the depth (R2 = 0.555) and diameter (R2 = 0.350) of the hole. The peak frequency also increased as the hardness of the impression material increased. Differentiability of the system was evaluated by an ANOVA test. A statistically significant difference (p < 0.01) was found between all implantation conditions, except in one case using the Regisil Rigid material. In contrast, the ISQ value did not consistently differentiate under several implantation conditions. The developed method could differentiate the stability changes in simulated implantation conditions with a wider dynamic range and with higher resolution than the ISQ value.
