ペリオテスト^®を用いたスミシコンとIMZインプラントの動揺度診査

抄録

The mobility of Sumicikon and IMZ implants, which had been kept unloaded more than 3 months for healing and were clinically judged to get the bony contact, were studied using Periotest^®. For comparison, we observed the mobility of both implants in the plaster.
The results were obtained as follows:
1. The periotest value of each implant was not different in the type, and the mean value of the mobility of Sumicikon implants was-5.2 and that of IMZ implants was -2.1 in the plaster.
2. The periotest value of Sumicikon implants was +1.5 (n=10) in jaw bone, and that of IMZ implants were +3.1 (n=9).
3. It was considered that Periotest^® was useful to estimate the condition of the implants in the jaw bone.
