The Importance of the Magnetic Mallet and Fixture Design in Post-Extraction Implantology

Post-extraction implantology is an increasingly widespread and well-established technique, particularly thanks to the technological innovations that have improved its precision and effectiveness. We interviewed two experts in the field, Dr. Giuliano Garlini and Dr. Marco Redemagni, to discuss how the Magnetic Mallet and fixture design can influence the success of post-extraction implants, especially in complex clinical settings.

1) How important is the minimally invasive nature of the Magnetic Mallet in a post-extraction setting?

Dr. Garlini: “In my daily clinical practice, I place post-extraction implants in 90% of cases. However, in these situations, the amount of available bone is often reduced, and we have to anchor to the inter-radicular bone septa in the posterior sectors or to the palatal cortical bone in the anterior sectors. Magnetodynamic surgery, with its minimally invasive instruments, is essential in these cases. The FIRST tip of the magnetodynamic inserts is particularly useful for accurately identifying and defining the entry point of the osteotomes, thus ensuring precise implant placement, even in conditions of poor visibility and limited maneuverability.”

2) What is the ideal fixture design for a post-extraction implant, and what is the most appropriate placement?

Dr. Redemagni: “The ideal design for a post-extraction fixture is conical, with sufficiently aggressive threads to ensure good primary stability, even in post-extraction sites. It is important that the threads extend all the way to the apex of the fixture, allowing easy management of orientation during insertion and enabling possible position adjustments without resorting to the use of drills. As for placement, we always refer to prosthetically guided implantology. The implant must be positioned in correspondence with the tooth being replaced, with a precise three-dimensional orientation, to ensure the trophism of the hard and soft tissues, reducing the risk of remodeling and flattening.”

3) What are the key steps to preserve the residual buccal bone?

Dr. Garlini: “During the extraction, it is essential to avoid fracturing the buccal cortical bone, which is often very thin and delicate. During preparation of the osteotomy, contact with the buccal bone wall must be avoided to prevent damage. Once the implant has been inserted, in order to maintain the shape of the root contour, the alveolus-implant gap can be filled with biomaterial and a connective tissue autograft can be placed between the soft tissues and the bone plate. If the buccal bone plate is damaged or missing, guided bone regeneration (GBR) techniques can be combined with immediate post-extraction implant placement, still providing reliable results.”

4) When and how can prosthetic loading be performed in a post-extraction context?

Dr. Redemagni: “The answer is complex. In general, I perform post-extraction implants with immediate loading in the esthetic zones up to the first premolar. In the latero-posterior sectors, I prefer not to use an immediate prosthesis, opting instead for a wide and tall healing screw, or one modified with resin to give shape to the emergence profile. In any case, it is essential to condition the soft and hard tissues, using xenograft bone grafts or connective tissue grafts, and to ensure a 360° concave emergence profile to provide the right width and biological space around the implant.”

Conclusion

The use of the Magnetic Mallet and an appropriate fixture design are key elements for the success of post-extraction implants, especially in complex clinical situations. Minimally invasive surgery and prosthetically guided planning offer superior results in terms of implant stability and final esthetics, ensuring safe and effective treatments for patients.

Introduction:

Immediate loading in implantology is increasingly becoming standard practice thanks to technological advances and new surgical techniques. We interviewed Dr. Giuliano Garlini and Dr. Marco Redemagni, experts in the field, to discover their clinical recommendations, the role of innovative technologies such as magnetodynamics, and how these influence the success of treatments.

Question 1: What are the main clinical recommendations for immediate loading?

Dr. Garlini: “Immediate loading requires careful patient assessment. It is crucial that the patient is in excellent health, with no systemic or local conditions that could compromise the procedure. A stable occlusion and an ideal antagonist arch are equally important to prevent future complications with the prosthesis. It is also essential to have a sufficient amount of available bone to ensure primary stability of the implant, which must be placed precisely beneath the element to be replaced.”

Question 2: How can magnetodynamic osteotomic preparation improve outcomes in immediate loading?

Dr. Redemagni: “The use of the magnetic mallet and the osteotomic inserts allows us to achieve high insertion torque values, which are necessary for immediate loading. This additive technique condenses the bone around the implant rather than removing it, thereby improving peri-implant BIC and allowing the placement of larger-diameter implants, which are crucial to the success of the prosthesis.”

Question 3: What are the safest protocols for immediate loading, and what technologies can support this practice?

Dr. Redemagni: “Distinguishing between immediate loading on single implants and full-arch is fundamental. While implant survival in full-arch rehabilitations is similar to that of implants placed in native bone, single implants show a survival reduction of about 8%. The action of the Magnetic Mallet inserts and the use of Conex K implants, with their high-performance threads, minimize the risk of failure.”

Question 4: How can the design of an implant such as Conex K help in an immediate loading case?

Dr. Garlini: “The design of Conex K is essential for success in immediate loading. Its external geometry and the shape of the threads ensure easy insertion and high primary stability, both crucial elements in these procedures. This type of implant offers a level of safety during use that is fundamental to the success of the treatment.”

Conclusion:

Innovations in the field of immediate loading are transforming implantology, making treatments safer and more effective. Thanks to experts such as Dr. Garlini and Dr. Redemagni and the use of advanced technologies like magnetodynamics and Conex K implants, patients can expect optimal outcomes with reduced recovery times.

A new scientific paper has been published exploring the effectiveness of the Magnetic Mallet compared to conventional drill-based methods in implant site preparation. This innovative study, conducted by the Department of Surgical Sciences at the University of Genoa, highlighted notable results in three key aspects of site preparation: accuracy, bone loss, and temperature variation.

Paper Title: “Influence of dental implant site preparation method on three aspects of the site: magnetodynamic mallet versus conventional drill”.

Paper Highlights:

• Preparation Accuracy: The Magnetic Mallet showed significantly greater precision compared to conventional drill-based methods.
• Bone Loss: Less bone loss was observed with the use of the Magnetic Mallet.
• Temperature Variation: The Magnetic Mallet generated fewer temperature variations, reducing the risk of bone necrosis.

These results suggest that the use of the Magnetic Mallet can improve primary implant stability and reduce surgical trauma, offering an effective and safe alternative to traditional methods.

Interview with Prof. Domenico Baldi

We had the opportunity to speak with Prof. Domenico Baldi, one of the authors of the paper, to discuss the results and the clinical implications of the study.

Q: Prof. Baldi, what inspired this comparative study between the Magnetic Mallet and conventional drill-based methods?
A: The inspiration came from the desire to find less invasive and more effective methods for implant site preparation. With the increasing use of dental implants, it is essential to develop techniques that reduce bone trauma and improve implant stability.

Q: What were the most notable results of the study?
A: The most notable result was the accuracy of the Magnetic Mallet. The precision of site preparation was significantly higher, which suggests a better fit of the implant and, consequently, improved primary stability.

Q: What are the clinical implications of these results?
A: The results suggest that adopting the Magnetic Mallet could improve primary implant stability and reduce surgical trauma. To these results I would add what emerged from the research I conducted together with Prof. Schierano Gianmario of the University of Turin (Biomolecular, Histological, Clinical, and Radiological Analyses of Dental Implant Bone Sites Prepared Using Magnetic Mallet Technology: A Pilot Study in Animals – G. Schierano, D. Baldi, B. Peirone, M. Mauthe von Degerfeld, R. Navone, A. Bragoni, J. Colombo, R. Autelli, G. Muzio – Materials 2021, 14(22), 6945), namely that using the Magnetic Mallet in implant site preparation produces a better and faster biological response, and therefore improved secondary stability. This could lead to a significant change in clinical practice, making implant site preparation safer and more effective, since with the same instrument we are able to increase both primary and secondary stability.

Q: Are there any further studies planned on this topic?
A: Yes, additional research is planned to examine the effects of the Magnetic Mallet in vivo and with larger samples to confirm the results obtained in the laboratory.

Recently, a team of clinicians, including Gabriele Cervino, Luca Fiorillo, Nicola Scotti, Francesco Alessandro Motta, Francesco Maria Motta, Jacopo Colombo, Artak Heboyan, and Domenico Baldi, published a groundbreaking study exploring the role of the Magnetic Mallet (MM) in guided surgery for full-arch restoration with narrow and tilted implants.

Discovery of the Magnetic Mallet: A Step Forward in Implantology

The Magnetic Mallet, a magnetodynamic instrument, has opened new pathways in the field of dental implantology. The study aimed to evaluate and compare postoperative discomfort and healing outcomes among the use of the MM, piezosurgery, and conventional instruments after tooth extraction. The research was conducted on a 69-year-old patient who required a fixed rehabilitation to replace complete removable dentures.

A Revolutionary Method for Exceptional Results

Through the use of cone-beam computed tomography, the team of clinicians identified an ideal patient for the treatment, characterized by significant bone resorption. Their treatment plan included the immediate loading of six implants in the upper arch, with guided surgery meticulously planned in coordination with the new prostheses. Using the Magnetic Mallet, six narrow implants were placed, followed by the construction of a reinforced metal-supported prosthesis.

Promises of Innovation and Success

After six months, the final rehabilitation was successfully completed. Narrow implants emerge as a promising option for full-arch fixed rehabilitations, demonstrating the effectiveness of guided surgery and the Magnetic Mallet in ensuring optimal results. However, despite the encouraging findings, the medical team emphasizes the importance of further research to confirm these results on a larger scale.

Welcome to our blog dedicated to innovation in the field of dentistry! Today we are excited to present an exclusive interview with the renowned dental surgeon Dr. Luigi Tagliatesta, an expert in the use of the Magnetic Mallet in dental autotransplantation. Through this conversation we will explore the crucial aspects of this advanced technique and discover how the Magnetic Mallet is revolutionizing dental surgery.

Team Osseotouch: Good morning, Doctor. We are familiar with many of the positive aspects of the Magnetic Mallet that have been addressed in this field: from extraction surgery to implant surgery and even prosthetic use. Today, however, we would like to discuss with you a rather particular use of our device that you have been working on. Can you give us a preview?

Dr. Luigi Tagliatesta: Good morning, and thank you for this question, because it gives me the opportunity to address a topic very dear to me but often underestimated, namely dental autotransplantation.

Team Osseotouch: In what way does the Magnetic Mallet fit into this scenario?

Dr. Luigi Tagliatesta: The Magnetic Mallet, thanks to its high-intensity impact force combined with the very short duration of the pulse, allows for the plastic deformation of bone. This makes it possible to perform a highly precise and atraumatic extraction of compromised dental elements, thus avoiding involvement of the cortical bone of the post-extraction sockets.

Team Osseotouch: Why is this characteristic important for the surgery of autotransplantation?

Dr. Luigi Tagliatesta: Because one of the keys to the success of transplanted elements is an intact recipient socket and the ability to extract the compromised element quickly while at the same time respecting the alveolar anatomy. On the contrary, the characteristics of the extraction inserts do not allow the same preservation of the periodontal ligament in the donor teeth. For this reason, the use of the Magnetic Mallet for the extractive component is limited to the extraction of compromised teeth, and not to donor teeth.

Team Osseotouch: Are there other aspects that can be addressed with the Magnetic Mallet to finalize the technique?

Dr. Luigi Tagliatesta: Certainly! As mentioned earlier, one of the most complex aspects of this technique is the adaptation of the post-extraction socket of the recipient element to the anatomy of the donor element. Such adaptation can be performed using surgical drills, ultrasonic devices, or manually with bone rongeurs. However, by using the Magnetic Mallet with custom-made inserts, produced on the basis of the DICOM files from the CT scan, anatomies can be replicated that mimic the root anatomy of the donor tooth. In this way, taking advantage of the bone-modeling characteristics of the Mallet, combined with the precision of the insert, it is possible to perform alveolar osteoplasties extremely faithful to the anatomy of the donor tooth in rapid and precise times. This allows for a better prognosis in bone healing and therefore greater success in the “integration” of the transplanted dental element.

Team Osseotouch: Can you show us an example to better understand what you are talking about?

Dr. Luigi Tagliatesta: Certainly. Below you can see a brief summary of a surgical procedure I performed that illustrates the osteoplasty. Thanks to the Magnetic Mallet model, I prepare the recipient socket so that it is ready to receive the new dental element.

Team Osseotouch: Thank you, Doctor, now it is much clearer. What do you recommend for those who would like to explore this topic in greater depth?

Dr. Luigi Tagliatesta: Only for subscribers to the Osseotouch channel, and through the end of January 2024, there is the possibility of purchasing the entire Osteocom course at a special discount. Here you can explore in depth all the theoretical and practical aspects of this technique, including the realization of the customized tip. Thanks to the presence of numerous surgical videos, where I illustrate all the steps step by step, anyone will be able to perform the procedure correctly from start to finish in a simple and independent way.

Team Osseotouch: We would also like to mention our colleague Dr. Luca Boschini, who works in the field of dental autotransplantation using the Magnetic Mallet. He has contributed significantly to the development of this technique.

Dr. Luigi Tagliatesta: Absolutely, I would like to thank Dr. Luca Boschini for his valuable contribution to this field. His experience and dedication are of great value to the advancement of dental autotransplantation surgery using the Magnetic Mallet.

In the world of implant surgery, every case is unique and presents challenges that require expertise and cutting-edge technology. Let’s take a closer look at an intriguing clinical case led by an expert in the field, Dr. Luigi Tagliatesta, with a particular focus on the collaboration with Dental Technology. Discover how this synergy led to the success of a minimally invasive surgery.

Question 1: How did you address the resorbed and complex post-extraction ridges in this particular case, Dr. Tagliatesta?

Dr. Tagliatesta: In this specific case, we used a guided-design software, Real Guide™, which allowed us to address the resorbed post-extraction ridges in a precise and safe way, minimizing surgical risk.

Question 2: What was the role of magnetodynamic technology and the macro-structure of the Conex – K implants in achieving primary stability?

Dr. Tagliatesta: The combination of magnetodynamic technology and the macro-structure of the Conex – K implants is essential to achieve optimal primary stability in any bone situation, leveraging the bone compaction obtained by the dedicated inserts.

Question 3: Why did you choose the guided approach over an open approach for implant placement?

Dr. Tagliatesta: By carefully studying the CT cross-sections, I identified the only possible position for placing the implants entirely in native bone. The use of guided surgery allowed us to expand the limited residual bone and place the implants in a flapless manner.

Question 4: How did you manage the prosthetic emergence in this specific case?

Dr. Tagliatesta: In the final restoration, it will be possible to correct the prosthetic emergence with an angled abutment or by using a multi-unit screw, anticipated by proper planning that allowed us to match the STL scans with the DICOM files of the CT scan.

Additional Question for Dental Technology: What was the role of Dental Technology in the production of the surgical guides and the digital planning of this case?

Dental Technology played a key role in the production of the surgical guides and the digital planning of this case, providing essential guidance for the planning and execution of the procedure.

In the field of dental implantology, the management of complex cases requires a focused approach and accurate planning in order to achieve optimal results. The clinical case presented by Dr. Venturini gives us the opportunity to examine a surgical procedure that required particular attention from preparation of the implant site, to bone grafting, all the way to elevation of the sinus membrane.

Initial situation before and after extraction

Step 1: Preoperative planning and bone healing

The patient underwent extraction of tooth 16 due to advanced caries. After a waiting period of approximately two months to allow for bone healing, a Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT scan) was performed, which revealed an amount of residual bone of approximately 1.8 mm mesial to tooth 17 and approximately 4.8 mm distal to tooth 15.

CBCT scan

Step 2: Surgical approach

Dr. Venturini opted for a surgical approach that included a full-thickness crestal flap. Implant site preparation was carried out with care, using drills of progressively increasing diameter up to a diameter of 3.5 mm. This preliminary step was crucial to ensure a stable foundation for implant placement.

X-ray 2 months after the CT scan

Step 3: Sinus membrane elevation

The most interesting aspect of this case is the elevation of the sinus membrane. After preparing a site of adequate diameter, by means of the Magnetic Mallet, Dr. Venturini used Elevate osteotomes with a 3 mm stop and, in the final phase, with a 4 mm stop for the elevation. The use of fragments of fibrin sponges, as in the Condress case, for the management of fractures of the bone wall of the maxillary sinus was a crucial step to ensure proper elevation.

Implant placement and crestal sinus lift with Elevate

Step 4: Implant placement and stability

Once sufficient elevation was achieved, it was possible to proceed with the placement of an implant measuring 4.5 x 8 mm. However, it is interesting to note that the implant showed limited primary retention, rotating during the screwing-in process. This led to the decision to opt for a submerged implant approach and a re-entry uncovering at 6 months.

X-ray after 15 days

Step 5: Stability assessment and prosthetic phase

During the uncovering phase, stability was assessed with a torque ratchet wrench, resulting greater than 30 Newtons and therefore satisfactory to proceed with the placement of the healing screw. The next phase involves prosthetic restoration, which will be planned two months after the uncovering phase.

Conclusions

The clinical case presented by Dr. Venturini illustrates a series of challenges faced in the field of dental implantology. Accurate planning, bone grafting, and elevation of the sinus membrane were crucial elements for the success of the procedure, in which Elevate, the definitive kit for crestal sinus lift, took center stage.

This case underscores the importance of thorough assessment and careful planning in complex clinical situations to achieve lasting and satisfying results for the patient. Magnetic Mallet once again proves to be an excellent ally in this type of challenge.

What is the most effective strategy for performing implant site preparation in a precise and safe manner?

Dr. Franco Giancola, a specialist in ceramic implantology and guided regenerative surgery, addressed this question.

In an article published in Ceramic Implants, an international journal of ceramic implant technology, the surgeon explains how preparation with Magnetic Mallet and all its related instruments represents the gold standard for facilitated and safe implant placement.

As every expert in the field knows, achieving good implant osseointegration requires proper site preparation to ensure adequate immediate mechanical retention and stable biological integration
over time.

In addition to traditional techniques, today it is possible to prepare the implant site using magnetodynamic surgery and the Magnetic Mallet, which allows the clinician to expand the alveolar ridge without the use of water jets and without removing bone tissue.

As Dr. Giancola reports in the article, magnetodynamic surgery offers several advantages:

1. The force applied to the inserts is high and brief; therefore, the procedure is faster and more precise.
2. The handpiece is operated with one hand and the movement is purely longitudinal; this provides better operative control and reduces operative risk.
3. The absence of rotary instruments and irrigation enables cold surgery, eliminating the risk of tissue overheating and infection.

The article continues by presenting the surgical protocol followed and the clinical cases most useful for the reader's understanding: the patients reported differ from one another in age and initial baseline condition, but all share magnetodynamic implant site preparation and the placement of ceramic implants.

The aim of this article is to demonstrate an alternative method for placing zirconia implants in poor-quality bone. In the cases reported, the implant sites were prepared using magnetodynamic osteotomes, which compressed the native bone, together with cortical sinus floor elevation, as reported in the literature.

Site preparation with Magnetic Mallet once again proves to be the best solution for resolving challenging implant placement cases: it increases the bone-to-implant ratio in the initial placement phase, improving primary implant stability and accelerating bone healing.

Following the excellent response to the clinical case and tutorial by Dr. Andrea De Maria, we recorded a Q&A interview in which Dr. De Maria answered the five most frequently asked questions.

Here's a brief excerpt for you.

Osseotouch: In this case, was the use of the stops decisive in managing the sinus fracture?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: The stops are a fundamental part of the Elevate kit because they allow us to maintain control throughout the entire crestal sinus lift procedure. Furthermore, by using a drills-free technique, the resulting osteotomy has exactly the diameter of the osteotome used; therefore, the stop acts as a safety net in case the working distance we initially chose turns out to be incorrect.

Osseotouch: In a drills-free procedure, what determines the choice between biomaterial, collagen, or nothing at all?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: The role of the material we place inside the space created with our crestal sinus lift has essentially two purposes: to create a tenting effect that keeps the membrane elevated and gives the clot time to organize and become bone. The second goal is to act as a scaffold, so that cells can find an ideal environment to organize and transform into bone. The choice between nothing, a fast-resorbing material such as collagen, or a slower-resorbing material such as deproteinized porcine or bovine grafts depends fundamentally on the amount of elevation we want to achieve with our crestal approach.

Osseotouch: How did the patient perceive the surgery?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: This is a very common question that colleagues always ask me when I talk about the Magnetic Mallet. The mechanical transmission of the impact is completely different compared to an osteotome with a manual mallet. Although the energy is greater, the intensity is delivered over an extremely short time and therefore spreads very little within the bone. What is important is to let the patient hear an empty stroke first, because the noise can be startling. So, in my normal clinical practice, I explain to the patient the device we are going to use, let them hear an empty stroke, and warn them just before the first impact. Patients usually do not experience particular discomfort.

Osseotouch: In the case of very prominent cortical bone, how should one proceed? By increasing the force, or by progressing more gradually with expansion?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: During crestal sinus lift procedures, it is important to remain in full control of the situation, both anatomically and technically. It is essential to plan the case carefully, knowing the working lengths and using the appropriate stops. The objective is not to break through the cortical bone in the shortest time possible, but to deform it and break through it in a controlled way. The use of the Elevate kit with millimeter-scale stops allows us to deform the cortical bone in a controlled manner. A slightly thicker cortical is normally addressed by slightly increasing the device's power and simply progressing through the stops. If we are unable to advance, we have two options: we can further increase the power to level 3, keeping in mind that force matters significantly; or we can return to our previous osteotome, slightly tilt it to crack and weaken the trapdoor we want to deform.

Osseotouch: In the upper jaw, when expanding and condensing with the Magnetic Mallet rather than drilling it, do you notice a better biological response from the bone?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: The advantages of using the Magnetic Mallet in both crestal sinus lift techniques and in implant site preparation techniques are linked to the cold technology and the absence of irrigation. I prefer the use of Magnetodynamic surgery over bur-based techniques in the preparation of mini-lifts or crestal sinus lifts because it allows me to preserve all the cellular information contained in the clot. Furthermore, if needed, I can improve the quality of the site. So in my clinical practice, yes.

Rehabilitating an edentulous gap at site 1.6 while preserving the available bone and improving bone quality is possible. Dr. Andrea De Maria demonstrates this in a crestal sinus lift case performed with the new Elevate kit.

From the radiographic analysis, the site presents a good amount of horizontal bone but is deficient in its vertical component. In order to place an implant of a diameter and length suitable to support a crown in the posterior masticatory zone, we need to regenerate the maxillary sinus space using Elevate and the Magnetic Mallet.

A crestal approach was therefore chosen, as it allows three-dimensional filling, a positive prognostic factor for the success of regenerative procedures. The implant tunnel is created using the crestal sinus lift technique with Magnetodynamic technology, which preserves all available bone and improves bone quality.

As can be seen from the pre- and post-surgical comparison, a prosthetically guided implant of appropriate dimensions is placed, improving bone quality and achieving a homogeneous lift that fills the maxillary sinus well and serves as support for the rehabilitation.

Discover the new Elevate kit on our website.

We are excited to introduce Elevate, the new definitive kit for crestal sinus lift. Elevate is the result of a long research process aimed at defining the perfect kit for crestal sinus lift procedures.

Elevate uses 100% of the bone, leveraging shaping toward the sinus and operating in complete safety because it avoids accidentally damaging the membrane. Elevate (link to Elevate page) features an easy, intuitive protocol with millimetric stops.

The Elevate stops are decisive in crestal sinus lift procedures as they provide full control throughout the procedure thanks to their millimeter-scale increments, preventing erroneous assessments of the working distance by acting as a safety net.

Elevate combines the classic sinus lift technique with the advantages of Magnetodynamic technology typical of the Magnetic Mallet, offering a unique solution for sinus lift procedures.

On the occasion of the publication of the clinical case and tutorial, we had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Carlo Cacciamani, an oral surgeon with many years of training in oral surgery and implant rehabilitation, about the case of intra-crestal sinus lift and post-extraction implant placement he performed with Magnetic Mallet.

Below we report some highlights from the interview, available in full on our YouTube channel.

Osseotouch: The dislocation of the bone segment requires great precision. Is the constant 1-millimeter advancement of the Magnetic Mallet osteotome a definitive solution in this respect?

Dr. Carlo Cacciamani: During the percussion of the mallet on the osteotome, the operator must have a well-developed tactile sensitivity in order to modulate the subsequent percussion and manage the osteotome. What happens with the Mallet is quite different, because the tip excursion is calibrated and never exceeds 1.1 mm. Therefore, considering the deformation capacity of the membrane itself, it is technically not possible to perforate it. The only piece of advice I'd give is to hold the handpiece almost passively, using only three fingers gently. So yes, the result is now predictable, safe, and repeatable: it is a definitive technique.

Osseotouch: More and more Magnetic Mallet users are choosing 100% drills-free solutions, replacing the lanceolate bur with a 100P osteotome or First. Do you consider the two techniques to be equivalent?

Dr. Carlo Cacciamani: No, not equivalent, because they actually have different characteristics and different outcomes depending on the clinical situation in which they are used. For example, in a post-extraction case with immediate loading, an experienced operator using osteotomes will achieve excellent, high-quality results in terms of both primary stability and bone shaping of the buccal and palatal bone, achieving a three-dimensional positioning that is prosthetically and surgically perfect. We should also recall how recent studies have shown that the peri-implant bone component in sites prepared with osteotomes is qualitatively superior to those prepared with burs, and that drills-free preparation represents a bone-preserving preparation, unlike bur preparation, which is subtractive.

Osseotouch: Can the Magnetic Mallet's force level 1 be defined as the setting for testing bone quality, not only for sinus lift?

Dr. Carlo Cacciamani: Absolutely yes. Consider that in my clinical practice it is by far the most-used setting, statistically in around 90% of cases. Furthermore, it is the force that allows us to achieve better bone shaping, and it is also more controlled.

Osseotouch: It often happens during preparation that the clinician encounters difficulty advancing due to very prominent cortical bone. What approach do you suggest in this case?

Dr. Carlo Cacciamani: We have two options: the first is to switch the setting to force 2 or 3, considerably increasing the distraction capacity of the bone segment; the second is the CVP technique. This technique is based on Newton's second law: "for a given applied force, the acceleration of a body is inversely proportional to its mass." Therefore, given the same applied force, a small 100 osteotome, for example, will have greater acceleration than a 200 and therefore greater fracture capacity. As a result, by striking the circumference of the site multiple times with a small-sized osteotome, we will create a series of small fractures that weaken the bone segment, which can then be easily lifted apically with a larger osteotome. In this way we have certainty of avoiding membrane injury by applying an atraumatic maneuver that allows us to lift the segment progressively, creating a controlled deformation of the sinus floor and excellent bone shaping.

Osseotouch: Compared to other techniques for crestal sinus lift, where would you position Magnetodynamic technology and in particular the Magnetic Mallet?

Dr. Carlo Cacciamani: From my point of view, after years of approaching, testing, and evaluating many techniques for crestal sinus lift, I can confirm with certainty that Magnetodynamic surgery currently represents the gold-standard technique. Firstly, because it is an evolution of the Summers technique. Then, because it is the fastest technique, the least demanding, and with the shortest learning curve. Finally, it is a technique that is fully adaptable to the clinical variables encountered during the surgical phase and to the operator's skills.

Many dentists perform surgical procedures such as extractions, implant placement, and sinus floor elevation with rotary or manual instruments that remove bone. But is it possible to perform these procedures with better visibility, more easily, more safely, and with greater patient comfort?

The clinicians and surgical scientists at Clinicians Report, one of the most respected, impartial, non-profit research institutes in the dental world, evaluated this possibility with the Magnetic Mallet, the Osseotouch device that adopts magnetodynamic technology, one of the most innovative technologies in oral surgery.

The Clinicians Report team tested and validated the device of their own initiative to assess its pros and cons, determining that the Magnetic Mallet uses a conservative technology, capable of making the surgical procedure faster and more predictable, while offering the patient greater comfort compared to traditional approaches. According to Clinicians Report, in fact, there were no patient complaints when using the Magnetic Mallet, neither immediately after surgery nor during the healing phase.

The Magnetic Mallet uses electromagnetic forces and delivers a high-intensity impact on the bone, facilitating bone remodeling and preservation. It is built with high-quality materials and is simple to use. For dentists who regularly perform oral surgery and seek cutting-edge technology, the Magnetic Mallet represents a significant improvement over traditional manual instruments, particularly in cases of difficult extractions.

Some say that the true New Year, the year of fresh starts and resolutions, is not January but September. Vacations end, school begins, and work fully resumes. What is certain is that, starting in September, we at Osseotouch have decided to collaborate with the leading experts in magnetodynamic technology, offering you something unique.

Each month we will provide a 360-degree look at a clinical case performed using the magnetodynamic technique by an expert in the technology, and we will show how to perform the procedure to the best of your ability with tips, suggestions, tutorials, and in-depth content to fully understand all the features of this innovative technology.

This month we present a case of intra-crestal sinus floor elevation and post-extraction implant performed by Dr. Carlo Cacciamani with the Magnetic Mallet. To resolve a case of intercalated edentulism involving teeth 15, 16, and a tooth 14 with painful symptomatology on chewing, Dr. Carlo Cacciamani performs an intra-crestal sinus floor elevation in the area of tooth 16 with subsequent implant placement and, after extracting the crown in the area of tooth 14, places a post-extraction implant.
The result? You only need to watch the full clinical case video to find out.

To explore other cases on sinus floor elevation, the Magnetodynamic WhatsApp group is the place for you: a space where you can share and review clinical cases with other colleagues and improve your daily practice.

Osseotouch had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Andrea De Maria, a dentist specializing in aesthetic rehabilitations on natural teeth and implants, on the noteworthy case of implant site preparation and mini sinus floor elevation successfully performed using Black Ruby instruments, as illustrated in the following video.

Osseotouch: Can you describe the initial situation of the patient and the surgical objectives?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: The patient, a male with negative recent and remote medical history, presented at the practice needing to restore the missing teeth 24 and 25, which had been extracted years earlier due to destructive caries. The objective of the surgery was to place two implant fixtures of adequate dimensions, achieving an insertion torque of 35 N/cm, in order to avoid a second surgical stage given the good availability of horizontal bone.

Osseotouch: Why did you choose to use the Magnetic Mallet osteotomes rather than burs in this case?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: The maxillary bone of the posterior sectors, given its capacity to be deformed easily, is the ideal site for preparation with osteotomes: the possibility of creating an implant tunnel without irrigation improves operative visibility, and non-subtractive magnetodynamic technology allows the initial bone quantity to be fully preserved and crestal sinus floor elevation to be performed with great predictability.

Osseotouch: What benefits did you observe with the use of Magnetic Mallet osteotomes in sinus floor elevation?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: Among the techniques available for performing crestal sinus floor elevation, the use of Magnetic Mallet osteotomes is undoubtedly the one I prefer: the controlled penetration of the tip allows me to perceive with great precision the transition between cancellous and cortical bone, making it less likely to perforate the Schneiderian membrane due to a misjudgment of preparation depth. Furthermore, the displacement of a bone fragment protects the membrane itself during implant placement and is the source of a cellular signal that promotes new bone formation.

Osseotouch: Has the primary stability of the implants improved in terms of insertion torque?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: In this specific case, having prepared both sites with osteotomes, I have no way to precisely assess whether implant stability was better than with a conventional preparation protocol. Generally, however, based on the experience gained in other surgeries, I believe that bone compaction rather than bone removal certainly improves bone density, facilitating the achievement of higher insertion torque values.

Osseotouch: Did the Magnetic Mallet osteotomes help you in placing the implants along the correct prosthetic axis?

Dr. Andrea De Maria: The morphology of the inserts, with their long, angled shanks, the absence of irrigation, and the slow, controlled penetration facilitate implant placement along the planned prosthetic axis. The absence of an implant handpiece head and the offset between the insert tip and the magnetic handpiece body also allow the correct placement axis to be maintained even when adjacent teeth or the patient's limited mouth opening might be obstacles.

Osseotouch is pleased to introduce PT1, the new solution for implantology. Osseotouch is expanding into the world of oral surgery with PT1, the first Osseotouch implant born from the desire to apply the characteristics of magnetodynamic technology underlying the Magnetic Mallet to a surgery that makes pterygoid site preparation easier.

It is a simple and pragmatic implant, capable of fully exploiting the bone condensation of the surgical sequence applied with dedicated osteotomes for the Magnetic Mallet. The design of PT1 combined with the magnetodynamic technique fully exploits all the anatomical advantages of this bone structure, enhancing the micro-invasiveness of this protocol and promoting the improvement of cancellous bone quality in the pterygomaxillary area.

From today, the search for implant stability and the correct fixture inclination to reach the pterygoid plate will be more immediate, thus achieving optimal immediate loading.

Osseotouch is pleased to present a case of Maxillary Split-Crest and subsequent implant placement performed by Dr. Fernando Gómez-Ferrer, Doctor of Medicine and Surgery, graduate in Dentistry and Specialist in Implantology, Surgery and Oral Rehabilitation, a leading professional in patient dental care.

The case is performed with FIRST, the first instrument of the Magnetic Mallet, which facilitates site preparation by making it completely drill-free. In this clinical case, Dr. Fernando Gómez-Ferrer, following the loss of the posterior abutment of a patient's bridge and her unwillingness to undergo lengthy and painful surgical procedures, opts for implant site preparation and subsequent implant placement using FIRST.

After cutting the bridge, the anterior abutment component was secured by means of endodontic treatment and post reconstruction, and the bridge was joined to the abutment to prevent the area from being edentulous during implant placement. After making a hole at the position of maximum intercuspation and at the center of occlusion of the tooth (the implant fixation point), the flap is opened, and with the FIRST instrument of the Magnetic Mallet, the angle is followed and the desired depth is reached using low power to maintain the angulation and the distance between the implants.

The implants are inserted at low speed and maintaining the best possible angulation. Before suturing, the periosteum is incised down to the depth of the vestibule to obtain a better suture without mucosal tension. In the follow-up radiographs, it can be seen that the result obtained is identical to the project that had been planned.

The FIRST instrument of the Magnetic Mallet is able to easily find the angulation in implant placement, providing the correct path from the very first impulse without removal of bone tissue. In this case the implants are inserted at low speed and maintaining the best possible angulation.

In 1991 he began his work at the Gómez-Ferrer Dental Clinic located in the center of Valencia, and since then he has maintained the care and attention of patients at the head of a team of highly qualified professionals that guarantees the treatments performed and maintains their evolution over time. His training as a Specialist in Implantology is similar to the development of this surgical specialty almost from its inception. Each year he attends courses on technological innovation and hands-on skills both in Spain and in various countries in Europe and the United States. He believes that the quality of the materials and techniques used is essential to obtain good results and offer greater guarantees to patients. He currently also collaborates as: - Lecturer at CICORD (Implantology and Oral Surgery Courses in the Dominican Republic). - Member of SEI (Spanish Society of Implants). - Member of SOCE (Spanish Society of Digital Dentistry and New Technologies).

A few months after the publication of scientific research on the benefits of magnetodynamic technology in soft bone obtained with the use of the Magnetic Mallet, on February 10, 2022, new research was published in Materials on the remarkable results obtained from the application of magnetodynamic technology in extraction cases.

The study is based on a comparison of extractions performed with the magnetodynamic technique of the Magnetic Mallet versus extractions using traditional techniques.

The research showed that extraction performed with the magnetodynamic technique generates better preservation of the alveolar ridge volume and at the same time less loss of the external contour.

The analysis showed in fact a reduction in the loss of the external contour compared to the conventional tooth extraction technique. Furthermore, less traumatic procedures appear to be able to better preserve the alveolar ridge volume (reduction of around 22% with less traumatic extractions).

Osseotouch had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Francisco Marchesani, an expert in Maxillofacial Oral Implantology, regarding the interesting clinical case of expansion, sinus floor elevation and implant placement performed with the Magnetic Mallet shown in the following video.

Osseotouch: Doctor, can you describe the case and explain why you chose to use MD technology?

Dr. Francisco Marchesani: It is a severe case of horizontal atrophy. On the right maxillary side there is a recent extraction. On the left maxillary side there is massive horizontal atrophy in the area of the first premolar and molar, in addition to horizontal pneumatization with bone loss in the maxillary sinus. The proposed treatment is therefore horizontal GBR on both sides plus elevation of the maxillary sinus floor on the left side. Bone condensation in extreme situations is a way to achieve implant stabilization. Osteodilation/osseodensification techniques have been used through mechanical mallets and dilators with various designs, but they are extremely invasive in the local situation and for patient comfort. They are also associated with vertigo syndrome. At the same time, there are rotary instruments for osteocondensation that I have used, but they require multiple steps and ultimately do not work in extreme situations such as this clinical case. Simultaneous implant installation is evaluated, and the decision is made to treat the osteotomies with rotary instruments only as a guide and to take advantage of the expansion capability of the Magnetic Mallet technology. Its biological foundation, in the sense of being minimally invasive, osteo-condensing, controllable and preserving as much as possible the small amount of residual bone, makes it possible to install the implants in the same surgical session.

Osseotouch: What was the initial bone quality and how did the use of magnetodynamic technology improve the condition?

Dr. Francisco Marchesani: The initial bone, from the standpoint of its quantity, is extremely compromised horizontally and also of very poor quality. This situation would normally prevent the placement of the implants in the same surgical session in which the reconstruction is performed. For this reason it is necessary to improve the quality and quantity of bone. Through the use of the magnetodynamic technology that the Magnetic Mallet provides, it is possible to work the bone, taking full advantage of its expansion capability. The high energy transmitted in a very short period of time but at the same time with high control make this instrument a perfect tool for this type of situation. It therefore manages not only to stabilize the implant for osseointegration, but also to position it in its ideal prosthetic position by working the bone toward the ideal area.

Osseotouch: Was the directionality of the osteotomy axis facilitated by the use of magnetodynamic osteotomes?

Dr. Francisco Marchesani: One of the major advantages of the Magnetic Mallet over the use of burs is the directionality that can be given to the preparation by using the osteotome axis as a guide for the prosthetically guided position of the implant. It is very easy to guide the preparation by following the direction of the adjacent teeth as a reference, or even through a conventional prosthetic guide. The use of straight and/or angled osteotomes facilitates the correct positioning of the implants.

Osseotouch: How do you evaluate the biological response in terms of new bone tissue formation?

Dr. Francisco Marchesani: From a purely biological standpoint, beyond the stability achieved, the technology offered by the Magnetic Mallet supports maximum bone vitality. On the one hand, no heat is generated, as a rotary instrument does, and on the other hand it avoids the bone loss generated by rotation in most bur systems. This suggests that local biological conditions are better than those offered by traditional rotary systems.

In situations where expansion is indicated, what is essentially done is to create a four-sided biological cage that has a great osteoformative capacity and that also provides stability for the graft to be used. One of the significant features when you start using this instrument is the vascularization that is achieved in the surgical bed. There is abundant bleeding from the bone. This is a situation that often cannot be obtained using rotary instruments. In summary, the use of the Magnetic Mallet provides an ideal biological bed for the formation of new bone.

On the occasion of the official launch of Levacorone — a product already on the market but on which we had not yet had the chance to shine the spotlight — we wanted to give the floor directly to the users to explain its features and benefits.

Watch what some of our colleagues have to say in the video:

Our Levacorone allows crowns and bridges to be removed by fully leveraging the Magnetic Mallet technology, causing the deformation and crumbling of the cement with the consequent loss of crown stability for an immediate detachment. The force generated is three times that of force applied manually, thanks to our patented and significantly less invasive technology.

We are proud to launch the "GENOA" set — three new instruments to perform safe, precise and controlled ridge expansion.

GENOA is named in honor of Genoa, the city of the designer of the set, Prof. Domenico Baldi, and was created to perform the first entry into the thinnest crests, engaging the bone in complete safety.
These new instruments have been designed and built with sharp, high-performance tips. The GENOA set includes:

• Genoa 1
• Genoa 2
• Genoa 3

to work in all quadrants.

These new instruments will allow you to perform horizontal expansion without any removal of bone tissue and with a single device.

Osseotouch had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Luca Arduini, an expert in implant surgery and a user of magnetodynamic technology for 11 years, regarding the interesting clinical case documented in the following video. The procedure was performed with the assistance of the Magnetic Mallet and the easy-in osteotomes designed by Dr. Arduini himself together with Dr. Zuccaro.

Osseotouch: – Good morning, Doctor, it's a pleasure to meet with you again. Thank you for the case you wanted to share with all of us. As a first question, I would simply ask you to describe the clinical case to complement what we see in the video.

Dr. Luca Arduini: – Good morning, certainly, with pleasure. The procedure is a post-extraction case involving teeth 1.1, 1.3, 2.1, 2.3, and 2.6, with implant placement at site 1.6. From the radiographic evaluation and oral examination, I observed the extrusion of 2.6 with exposed root, the endodontic failure of 2.3 with root fracture, the endodontic failure of 1.3 with root fracture, grade 3 mobility of 1.5, and extrusion of 1.7 with exposed root. For a definitive resolution, in agreement with the patient, we decided to proceed with full mouth disinfection and the placement of six implant fixtures with immediate loading, using the magnetodynamic compaction technique with prototype straight AZ osteotomes for the upper maxilla. Subsequently, a complete rehabilitation of the mandible was also performed with an all-on-four procedure.

Osseotouch: – Thank you, Doctor, as always very thorough. May I ask why you chose to use the Magnetic Mallet in this specific procedure?

Dr. Luca Arduini: – What the patient wanted was a quick procedure, with guaranteed results, and above all with little post-operative pain. With the Magnetic Mallet and the AZ osteotomes of the easy-in that I designed, I always manage to score the winning goal! Without removing bone tissue, with the sharp AZ osteotomes I "collected" and shifted bone where needed, managing to insert six implant fixtures with stability of over 70 newtons — stability that allowed for immediate loading. With the right learning curve, magnetodynamic compaction can be used in a comprehensive 360-degree manner, even, as in this procedure, for full-arch rehabilitation.

Osseotouch: – Excellent, thank you. One last question for the readers — can you tell us concretely what the advantages were for you as the operator and for the patient by using magnetodynamic technology?

Dr. Luca Arduini: – As per protocol in my practice, we always ask patients, after a few days, about their post-operative impressions, their symptoms, and whether they experienced any particular discomfort. The reason I use magnetodynamic technology in all the implant surgical procedures I perform is because the patients, just a few hours after the procedure, show no problems, succeeding in the vast majority of cases — with immediate loading — in restoring proper masticatory, phonetic, and aesthetic function. Furthermore, something very important in this COVID-19 pandemic situation that unfortunately still involves all of us, the use of the Magnetic Mallet allows us to work in complete safety without producing aerosols, and since irrigation is not necessary, the operator has greater visibility and greater precision. This allows us to cut working time in half, thereby causing less stress to the patient.

Osseotouch: – Thank you so much for sharing this interesting case and your clinical choices with us. We invite readers to send any further questions about the compaction technique and the use of the easy-in osteotomes. See you soon!
