Dental Implant Testing

Solutions for Dental Implant Testing

Dental implants are embedded in the jaw bone within the patient’s mouth to act as the root of the missing tooth. Since teeth are exposed to various loads day to day (chewing), it is critical that dental implants are tested. The most common test to determine dental implant performance is a fatigue test. This fatigue testing is typically performed at high frequencies to see how the implant will react after millions of chews in use. Some common test standards used to determine the quality of dental implants include:

• ISO 14801 – Dental Implant Testing
• ASTM F543 – Medical Bone Screw Testing
