Introducing a new level in implant stability measurement

We are happy to introduce the next leap in the evolution of implant diagnostics with the introduction of the Osstell Beacon.

Over the past few years, there has been a shift in the dental implant market. There are now more dentists with less experience within implantology and a generation shift with different expectations is coming. Clinicians are facing more complex decisions as there is an increase in patients with risk factors and as demands for shorter treatment times are rising. Protocols and techniques are being redefined to accommodate the benefits of digital planning and workflows. There is thus a need for an objective tool to increase efficiency, and to guide and optimize the implant treatment for both complex and more straight-forward cases, making ISQ diagnostics all the more necessary, as an objective key value to improve outcomes and assure quality.

 
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. We sat down with Mr. Jonas Ehinger, CEO Osstell, Mr. Stefan Horn, VP Product Solutions Osstell and Dr. Marcus Dagnelid, CEO Dagnelidklinken to hear their thoughts on the Osstell approach and the new product Osstell Beacon.

Could you please tell us a bit more about this new product? What was the thinking behind developing the Osstell Beacon?

Mr. Ehinger: The Osstell Beacon is a natural step for us as part of the Osstell approach. It is a way for us to cater to a different segment of the market and a different use of our technology. Although it is also designed to work in combination with our other products and services, such as Osstell Connect and the Osstell IDx.

Mr. Horn: We needed a complement to the more comprehensive Osstell IDx to meet the needs from different dental clinics globally, both large University clinics and small private practices.

In the industry today, there is a lot of talk about connectivity, Internet of Things, Big data. We perform more and more tasks with our Smartphones and tablets, which puts greater demands on products to be intuitive and practical to use. Our design goal was therefore to make the Beacon highly intuitive, practical and extremely easy to use to guide the ISQ measurements.
