Implant stability is important for osseointregration; without it, long-term success cannot be achieved. Continuous monitoring in a quantitative and objective manner is important to determine the status of implant stability. Measurement of implant stability is a valuable tool for making decisions pertaining to treatment protocol and it also improves dentist-patient communication. Owing to the invasive nature of histological analysis, various others methods have been proposed such as radiographs, cutting torque resistance, reverse torque, and resonance frequency analysis (RFA). This review focuses on the objectives and various methods to evaluate implant stability
