Remove Doubt when placing Dental Implants with the Penguin RFA (ISQ) Implant stability device.
Kit includes the Penguin RFA wireless device, AC power adapter & MulTipeg Driver.
WHY Penguin RFA?
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. Unlike the Osstell Beacon Device which requires single-use Smart Pegs, Penguin RFA works with re-usable MulTipegs saving you hassle and money.
HOW DOES Penguin RFA work?
Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) was introduced to implant dentistry more than 20 years ago. A peg 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.
