Osseointegration as formulated by Alberktson is crucial for implant survival and success. Osseointegration is a measure of implant stability. Measuring implant stability helps to arrive at decisions as to loading of an implant, allows protocol choice on a patient to patient basis and provides enhanced case documentation. The RFA technique provides with clinically relevant information about the state of the implant-bone interface at any stage after implant placement.
