Osstell, the company that developed the ISQ technology, now takes the next leap in the evolution of implant diagnostics with the introduction of the Osstell Beacon, an innovative and highly intuitive tool designed to guide implant treatments for more predictable results.
Based around Osstell's Implant Stability Quotient — ISQ diagnostic technology, The Osstell Beacon is an intuitive tool designed to guide clinicians toward more predictable implant outcomes.
The handheld measurement device was designed to be simple to use to capture a measurement of the implant's stability according to the company's evidence-based ISQ scale. It can be used to measure primary implant stability, as well as to track osseointegration based on secondary stability readings, according to a press release. This information can be used to determine the optimal time to load an implant which can help prevent failures and shorten treatment times.
The data captured by The Osstell Beacon is presented in different colors to indicate differing levels of stability. This data can be analyzed via the online Osstell Connect platform to provide deeper insight from the measurements.
