Abstract
In recent years, Implant treatment has been recognized to be a predictable treatment of defect prosthetic, defect prosthetic treatment using implants has become much more familiar to the general practice.
However, implant position and ossein, bone density, power of healing is not uniform through a period of integration, it becomes accident and not to integration with the patient's problems if moving to the prosthetic treatment by judging only clinical senses such as inspection, palpation, and percussion sound and standard healing.
Periotest have ways to prevent such accidents. Periotest is more convenient to confirm the primary stability and integration, which can be diagnosed more reliably measuring device.
The Periotest in the literature for some numbers are not stable and integration is broken by hammering there is a negative feedback,but it had the feeling like its not really try to use.
We report devices that can be used with confidence for diagnostic equipment integrations and should be noted for measurement by examining the reproducibility of the Periotest measurement.
