title: Periotest to monitor osseointegration and to check the occlusion in oral implantology.
abstract: This paper reports on Periotest, its technique's history, and its possible applications. Periotest is a new diagnostic method, developed by an interdisciplinary research group embracing dentists, physicists, mathematicians, and computer engineers. Periotest will--apart from periodontal questions--mainly assist oral implantology.
