Correction:

It has come to our attention that in rare cases our SmartPeg Type 66 does not give enough thread engagement when used on Straumann TLX WT implants. This can result in inaccurate measurements, leading to either no measurement results or significantly lower results than anticipated.

To address this, we are implementing a design change to correct the thread length. The updated SmartPeg Type 66 will be available within 3-4 months.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This information applies exclusively to the Straumann TLX WT. Other implant platforms compatible with SmartPeg Type 66 remain unaffected by this issue. The recommendations specified in the SmartPeg Reference Guide are updated in version 84.

Can I re-use the SmartPegs?

The SmartPegs are single use items. To avoid damage to the implant, the SmartPeg material is quite soft, which limits the lifetime of the threads. So the SmartPeg cannot be reused for two reasons: First, the magnet cannot stand the heat of an autoclave, it will be affected and discolored. Second, the threads are made weak not to jeopardize the inner threads in the implant. Reusing the SmartPeg might wear out the threads and give misleading ISQ values.

Is the ISQ-value sensitive to how hard the SmartPeg is tightened?

The SmartPeg should be tightened with 4-5 Ncm, which means “finger tight”, using the SmartPeg Mount. It is enough with firm contact between the SmartPeg and the implant. The difference in ISQ value will then stay within 2 ISQ units. (If the SmartPeg is tightened too loosely, the ISQ-value will be lower.) If the SmartPeg is over-tightened, there is a risk that the SmartPeg threads will be damaged.
