Predictive values of resonance frequency analysis as a diagnostic tool in palatal implant loss.

CONCLUSIONS:: RFA had no sensitivity for prediction of stability. General decrease after primary stability and increase with secondary stability gives support for specificity. Within the limits of the study, only the diagnostic value of RFA identifying stable palatal implants could be confirmed.
