Full title: Successive ISQ Measurements to Determine Appropriate Loading Protocols with Long-term Statistical Relevance
Lecture at the Osstell Scientific Symposium 2011
Prof Peter Moy
Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Nobel Biocare Endowed Chair, Surgical Implant Dentistry. Director, Straumann Surgical Dental Center. UCLA, School of Dentistry.
Prof Moy presents clinical guidelines derived from more than 1,000 patient treatments – all assessed using ISQ measurements. The guidelines describes different indications and how to use Osstell ISQ in various clinical situations. Prof Moy has more than a decade’s experience of using Osstell and showed that there seems to be a cut-off value at ISQ 56 for one-stage implants, below which the failure rate increases dramatically, to more than 10%.
