Purpose and goal
A mechanical detail is mounted on top of a dental implant. The detail is vibrated and two resonance frequencies will follow that reflects the highest stability direction and the lowest stability direction of the implant. The frequency is a measure of how stable the implant is in relation to the bone. Currently only one mode can be deteced at a time, and the direction is unknown. The project will develop the magnetic method so that both frequencies can be detected at a time, and also directional information can be achieved.
