Clinical Studies Regarding Electromagnetic Stimulation in Proximity of Dental Implants on Patients with/without Orthodontic Treatment

As a result of the loss of a tooth, there is a decrease in trabecular bone and loss of height and width of the adjacent bone. This study was designed as an observational imaging study, regarding structural changes that may occur during healing after the placement of Titanium dental implants. For this purpose, Cone Beam Computed Tomography was used in order to determine bone modifications around dental implants, loaded either with conventional healing caps or with healing caps pulsating electromagnetic waves, Magdent (TM), Haifa, Israel. The mean age of the study population was 49.84 +/- 3.29 years (95% confidence interval (CI): 46.55-53.13). According to the voxel measurements after conventional treatment, there was a significant difference p < 0.0001 between bone radiodensity before treatment 288.1 +/- 47.16 Standard Deviation (SD), and bone radiodensity 688.1 +/- 81.02 SD after treatment with conventional healing caps. According to the voxel measurements after treatment with MagdentMed (TM) pulse electromagnetic healing caps, there was a significant difference p < 0.0001 between bone radiodensity before treatment 310.7 +/- 53.26 SD and bone radiodensity after treatment with MED caps 734 +/- 61.96 SD. The most common result of our study was a slightly higher radiodensity nearest the interface of dental implants after treatment.
