DUBLIN, Ireland: In conjunction with the 2013 Annual Scientific Meeting of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO), Osstell, a Swedish manufacturer of instruments for analysing dental implant stability, held its annual scientific symposium in Dublin in Ireland. At the event, two oral surgeons presented research results obtained using the company’s technology.

The Osstell Scientific Symposium, at which the latest research and findings on dental implantology are presented, takes place once a year. At this year’s symposium, which was held on 18 October, Dr Ulrike Kuchler, an oral surgeon from the University of Bern in Switzerland, presented preliminary results from an ongoing study with sinus floor elevation and loading in eight weeks. The aim of the study was to investigate how treatment time could be shortened in a predictable way. Osstell’s ISQ technology was used in the study to monitor the development of osseointegration. The threshold level in the study was set to an Implant Stability Quotient value of 70. According to Kuchler, 80 per cent of the implants reached the threshold level after the period and underwent prosthetic rehabilitation. No implant losses were reported.

In his presentation, Dr Michael Norton, a specialist in oral surgery from the UK, discussed the need to redefine what constitutes primary stability and how it differs from biological integration. He stated that there is a need to measure and monitor stability objectively as a dynamic process rather than as a static measurement at a certain point in time.

Videos of both lectures can be accessed on Osstell’s website.

The next symposium will be held together with the 2014 EAO Annual Scientific Meeting in Rome in Italy on 26 October.
