Abstract

Background: Instead of using drills for implant bone site preparation, new tools have been developed to decrease surgical stress, gain more control over the incision, boost primary stability, and shorten recovery and morbidity periods. A novel apparatus that utilises magneto-dynamic technology has been suggested for use in bone surgical procedures, such as the preparation of dental implant sites.
Aim of the study: Evaluation of the use of magnetic mallet versus conventional drill system for delayed implant placement in posterior mandible.
Materials and Methods: A randomized, controlled, clinical trial was carried out in patients requiring dental implants to replace their extracted tooth in posterior mandible. Patients who met the inclusion criteria was randomly divided in to two groups: study group A (osteotomy with magnetic mallet) and controlled group B (osteotomy with conventional drill system) and this was clinically and radiographically evaluated.
Results: Implants done with magnetic mallet had a statistically significant higher primary stability than Implants done with drill system and Secondary stability was statistically significant higher in study group than Implants done in control group while Both methods are comparable regarding the bone density.
Conclusion: Magnetic mallet show better significant primary stability, and secondary stability than the conventional drill system. Both methods are comparable regarding the bone density.
