The Periotest is examined as a possible replacement for outdated, inconsistent dental implant stability diagnosis tools. The Periotest has the advantage of offering reproducible findings by measuring the levels of subclinical mobility using an ultrasonically vibrating probe. The Periotest is successful in assessing the stability status of an implant, but it can detect the quantity of bony osseointegration only in terminal cases. Radiography proved to be a more sensitive method of determining pericervical bone loss; therefore, periapical radiographs in addition to the Periotest device were found to offer the most reliable assessment of an implant's status.
对Periotest进行了研究，以探讨其能否替代过时且不一致的牙种植体稳定性诊断工具。Periotest的优势在于，通过使用超声振动探头测量亚临床活动度水平，可提供可重复的结果。Periotest在评估种植体的稳定性状态方面很成功，但它只能在末期病例中检测到骨结合的数量。事实证明，放射成像在确定颈部周围骨质流失方面是一种更敏感的方法；因此，除了Periotest设备外，根尖片被认为能对种植体状态提供最可靠的评估。
