Methods of Determining Implant Stability and Scientific Loading Criteria

Registration and Dinner: 5:30-6:30 PM
Lecture: 6:30-9:30 PM

There can always be difficulties in determining the osseointegration status when an implant is to be loaded with the prosthesis. Nevertheless, it is vital to know whether the implant is stable. Research today demonstrates that implants can be subject to immediate or early loading, but there were no objective standard methods of determining implant stability which will be very helpful criteria for immediate or early loading.
In this lecture, the current scientific loading criteria and decision making process for the immediate or early loading will be presented with clinical cases and reliable scientific data such as Resonance Frequency Analysis, implant design that reinforced stability, Insertion torque value, evaluation of bone density and the patient’s parafunction.
