The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Automatic Diagnostic System for tooth mobility we had developed was applicable for evaluating implant mobility. Ten IMZ implants, which had been functioning in the patients, were selected. Mechanical mobility of implant with intramobile element (IME) and titanium element, were measured by our system. The frequency spectrum of the mechanical mobility and mechanical parameters (c_1, c_2 and k) in implants were compared with those in natural teeth (maxillary central incisors and canines). Mechanical mobility spectra in implants were similar to those in teeth. The values of mechanical parameter in implants were larger than those in teeth. We found that the Automatic Diagnostic System could be utilized for evaluating implant mobility.
