Abstract
The stability of dental implants is a prerequisite for osseointegration. Osseointegration is the process that involves the formation of bone around the dental implant, resulting in increased stability and its integration in the organism. Therefore, successful osseointegration contributes to a functionally optimal treatment. There is a need for a clinical method capable of measurement of bone quality at the time and following implant placement, to measure the degree of osseointegration and the ability of the implants to distribute loads to the surrounding bone. Research to date focuses on finding an ideal method to assess the osseointegration of dental implants in order to improve and broaden the clinical indications of dental implant systems. This paper aims to supply information about current methods used to assess the osseointegration of dental implants. In this regard, a literature review was conducted. Full-text scientific articles relevant to the chosen topic, written in English or whose text could be accessed in English were included.

Summary
Stabilitatea implanturilor dentare constituie o condiţie esenţială pentru osteointegrare. Osteointegrarea reprezintă procesul prin care în jurul implantului dentar se formează ţesut osos, având ca rezultat creşterea stabilităţii şi integrarea în organism a acestuia. O osteointegrare de succes contribuie la un tratament optim din punct de vedere funcţional. Este nevoie de o metodă clinică capabilă să aprecieze calitatea osului în momentul şi consecutiv inserării unui implant dentar, gradul de osteointegrare, precum şi capacitatea implantului de distribuţie a forţelor la nivelul osului. Această lucrare îşi propune să furnizeze informaţii despre metodele actuale utilizate în evaluarea osteointegrării implanturilor dentare.
