Accurately Measure Implant Stability and Osseointegration
Restore implants sooner with confidence.
The Penguin accurately measures implant stability and osseointegration, providing you with the ideal time to load an implant. This is especially important when using procedures with shorter treatment times or treating at-risk patients. The Penguin is not only affordable and simple to use; it reduces treatment time while allowing you to restore sooner with total confidence. It’s non-invasive, more accurate diagnosis helps ensure implant success.
Assess Osseointegration!
The Penguin RFA, the affordable solution for ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) implant stability measurement. Developed by the same team who brought RFA (resonance frequency measurement) to dentistry, the Penguin RFA delivers accurate results using reusable, calibrated MulTipegs. Penguin RFA measures implant stability and osseointegration to enhance decision making on when to load.Â
Clinical benefits include:
MulTipegs are calibrated to individual implant brands and sizes. In some cases, MulTipegs may be used across different brands for an even better return on investment. Call Biotech Dental Customer Service or consult the online MulTipeg list to order the correct MulTipeg for your implants.

Introducing the New Generation!
The Penguin II is a highly sophisticated Resonance Frequency analysis (RFA)  instrument for assessing the osseointegration of dental implants using the clinically-proven ISQ Scale. In addition to a sleeker look and more premium feel, than its predecessor, the Penguin II now features a replaceable battery – significantly extending the product’s useful lifespan. The Penguin II  has an updated aesthetic with important clinical purpose. New flatter sides bring increased comfort, surer grip, and better leverage when in the hand. A new LED display screen improves readability. The Penguin II utilizes cost-effective Multipegs, which are available for all major implant systems and are autoclavable for up to 20 uses. Â

The technique behind and the ISQ scaleÂ
The technique behind the Penguin Instruments is called Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) and the measurement unit is named Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ).
The peg is excited by magnetic pulses and vibrates due to the stiffness in the contact area between the bone and the implant surface.
Once attached to an implant, magnetic pulses cause the MulTipegâ„¢ to vibrate. The instrument measures the frequency of the vibration and translates it to an ISQ scale value between 1 and 99. The higher the ISQ value, the better the stability. RFA measures implant stability as a function of interface stiffness, which correlates with implant displacement, i.e. micro-mobility.
The local bone density determines the ISQ value, and is influenced by factors such as the implant placement technique, implant design and healing time. Implants with low and/or dropping ISQ values seem to pose an increased risk for failure compared with implants with high and/or increasing values.
