As I am a fan of complex oral rehabilitations, during the
IDS dental exhibition in Cologne, I tried to identify the
latest tools that help oral implantology. Thus, we came
across some Israeli exhibitors who displayed a device for
detecting implants buried beneath the gingival tissues in
two-stage implantology. These dental implant detectors
are manufactured by four companies, DSI Dental Solutions
Israel Ltd., Edison Medical LTD., Forum Engineering
Technologies (96) Ltd., and Romidan Ltd.
                                                                  The device RomiPointerTM Implant Detector.
Later on, consulting the literature we noticed that the
device for detecting dental implants is also manufactured
in Belgium, Italy, Germany, UK, Turkey, Korea or USA.
The device detecting dental implants is a precise
instrument that uses advanced technology, with an
ergonomic design, easy to use and accessible, offering a
non-invasive alternative to the exploratory mucoperiosteal
flaps and retroalveolar radiographs, useful to qualified
dental staff, implantologists and general practitioners
working with dental implants. The dental implant detector
acts as a vibration generator, the LC electronic Colpitts
