Remove Doubt when placing Dental Implants with the Generation 2 Penguin II RFA Implant stability device (ISQ).  The Kit includes:

• Penguin II RFA wireless device.

• Mains Charging Station and adapter.

• TestPeg.

• MulTipeg Driver.

• USB stick instruction manual.

WHY Penguin II RFA?

Penguin II builds on the success of Penguin with:

• An appealing soft rubber surface for greater comfort in the hand. 

• Worktop mains charging station – Your Penguin II will always be fully charged for every case.   

• Relocated display with an ultra-clear screen on both sides.

• The batteries are rechargeable as for Penguin RFA, but Penguin II allows for battery change in the office extending the lift of PenguinII

WHY measure ISQ with Penguin II?

A quick measure of implant stability enhances decisions for all cases.  Especially so in higher-risk patients, cases of simultaneous placement & grafting, early or immediate load or as an objective record to share with colleagues or record in the patient notes.

HOW DOES Penguin II RFA work?

Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) was introduced to implant dentistry more than 20 years ago.  A reusable* MulTipeg attached to the implant is excited when the Penguin RFA unit is brought into close contact. The resistance to vibration frequency is measured by the instrument and presented as an ISQ (Implant Stability) score from 1 to 99.  The ISQ value correlates strongly to the micro-mobility of the dental implant which in turn depends on bone quality and osseointegration.

*Unlike the Osstell Beacon Device which requires single-use Smart Pegs, Penguin RFA works with re-usable MulTipegs saving you hassle and money.

EVIDENCE: ISQ and Penguin RFA 

Over 1000 articles covering ISQ and Resonance Frequency Analysis have been published since 1996.  See below.
