This paper aims to develop detection techniques and associated devices on irregular osseointegration during and after dental implant operations. More specifically, the study relates to the quantitative evaluation of an osseointegration between a dental implant and an alveolar bone through examining differences of dynamic characteristics of the dental implant and irregular bone defects. Developed techniques are able to inspect quantity, orientation and depth of bone defect. The associated device to this purpose is designed based upon the application of acoustic induced excitation and vibration response.
