Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare and examine implant mobility which had been obtained from a different viewpoint.
Implant mobilities were recorded for 36 implants in total by two devices: a periotest device and an automatic mobility diagnostic system. The relation among the periotest value obtained from the periotest device, the value of viscosity, and the value of elasticity obtained from the automatic mobility diagnostic system were calculated.
The periotest values were distributed between -5 and ＋5, and the overall average and standard deviation were -0.78±3.38, respectively. The overall average and standard deviation in the three dynamic parameters of viscosity c1 , viscosity c2 and elasticity k were 58.26±13.79, 687.08±151.71, and 549,119.88±237,058.91, respectively. A negative correlation was found between the periotest value and viscosity c1 (r=0.714), viscosity c2 (r=0.689) and elasticity k (r=0.774).
It was possible to compare, evaluate and analyze the degree of osseointegration from a large amount of quantitative data for the periotest value,elasticity and viscosity.
