Static Magnetism in Dental Implant: A Review of Its Impact on Osseointegration
Keywords:
N\AAbstract
Osseointegration—the direct biological bonding between bone and implant surface—is critical for long-term success of dental implants (1). Static magnetic fields (SMFs), generated by permanent magnets, have been studied as a non-invasive adjunct to enhance bone healing and implant integration. This review examines the nature of SMFs, their interaction with biological tissues, summarizes findings from in vitro, animal, and clinical studies, discusses underlying molecular mechanisms, and evaluates clinical implications. Evidence suggests SMFs promote early bone formation, increase bone-to-implant contact (BIC), and improve implant stability. However, standardization of treatment parameters and long-term safety data remain insufficient for routine clinical use. Future research is warranted to confirm efficacy and optimize protocols.
