--- title: Osstell | implant stability description: implant stability | We help clinicians reduce treatment time and manage patients with risk factors. Osstell tells you when an implant is ready for loading. It helps you to objectively and non-invasively determine implant stability and to assess the progress of osseointegration – without jeopardizing the healing process. Osstell uses Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) to determine implant stability and osseointegration. The result is presented as an ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) value of 1-100. --- [![Osstell](https://content.osstell.com/hs-fs/hubfs/W%26H%20and%20Osstell%20logo%20for%20landing%20pages.png?width=1210&height=216&name=W%26H%20and%20Osstell%20logo%20for%20landing%20pages.png "Osstell")](http://www.osstell.com) ![Osstell ISQ RFA Implant stability Blog](https://content.osstell.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Canva%20images/Osstell%20ISQ%20RFA%20Implant%20stability%20Blog.png?width=2240&name=Osstell%20ISQ%20RFA%20Implant%20stability%20Blog.png "Osstell ISQ RFA Implant stability Blog") ## A blog about dental implant treatment, implant stability and assessing osseointegration. ## We believe in evidence-based, educational and pedagogic content.

Both primary stability (mechanical stability) and stability prior to provisionalization or restoration of the implant should be considered in the individual treatment plan.The secondary (aka biological stability) will indicate the level of osseointegration when compared to the initial primary stability (mechanical stability) at placement of the implant. There are other factors, of course, to be considered but there is little disagreement in the literature that implant stability is key.

Surgeons must find balance between mechanical stability and avoiding excessive trauma to alveolar bone, especially the cortical bone found at the alveolar crest. The two measures of quantifying primary stability are insertion torque volume (ITV) and resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Implant stability quotient or ISQ is a value used to determine stability via RFA.

Changes to implants' macro and micro design, surfaces, and surgical and prosthetic procedures that expand today's treatment with dental implants. But for me, the most impressive improvement was an implementation of resonance frequency analysis (RFA) from scientific to clinical work in implant dentistry.

Osstell tells you when an implant is ready for loading. It helps you to objectively and non-invasively determine implant stability and to assess the progress of osseointegration – without jeopardizing the healing process. Osstell uses Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) to determine implant stability and osseointegration. The result is presented as an ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) value of 1-100.
