Dental implant stability measurement control unit

Intended purpose

DIO IDx is intended for use as a Dental Implant Stability Analyzer. The device is a handheld instrument that involves the use of the non-invasive technique, Resonance Frequency Analysis. The system involves the use of a SmartPeg attached to the dental implant or abutment by means of an integrated screw which is excited by a magnetic pulse from the measurement probe in the handheld instrument. The resonance frequency, which is the measure of implant stability, is calculated from the response signal. Results are displayed on the instrument as the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ). It is a measurement of the stability of the implant, and is derived from the resonance frequency value obtained from the SmartPeg. The higher the number, the greater the stability. The system includes the DIO IDX, probe, smart peg mount, charger and test peg. The Smart Peg is sold separately as a single use device and not included with the system.
