We developed and implemented osseointegration detection device based on the resonant frequency method by using electro-magnetic and vibro-acoustic principles, respectively. Besides, this realized hand-held osseointegration detection device is noncontact and noninvasive. The implemented detection device is applicable to dental and limb implant osseointegration assessment.

We developed and implemented osseointegration detection device based on the resonant frequency method by using electro-magnetic and vibro-acoustic principles. A swept sinusoid wave excites implant structure and vibration responses are acquired by the same hand-held device; thus, the calculated frequency response can characterize structure resonance. This realized osseointegration detection device is noncontact.

This implemented osseointegration assessment device can be employed in primary stability and daily-life following evaluation for dental and limb implantation. The physicians in clinics, hospitals can use the device; besides, the patients can self-examine the osseointegration status. The supplied quantitative index by the device relates to irregular osseointegration which indicates valuable information for osseointegration degradation.
