Development of a Transducer for Dental Implant Stability Measurement

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study focuses on the development of transducers for Osstell® Mentor in measuring stability of various implant systems. Experiments are performed to verify the compatibility of a self-made transducer. An acoustic signal analysis system is introduced to analyze the acoustic signal emitted from the Osstell® Mentor probe, and the frequency with peak amplitude in the amplitude-frequency plot is identified. The resonance frequency obtained is found to be linearly dependent upon the ISQ value by Osstell® Mentor. This finding is helpful for developing compatible transducers for various implant systems.
