A Narrative Review on the Use of Magnetic Mallets as an Aid in Dental Implantology and Atraumatic Extractions

The primary focus of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is exodontia, followed by the replacement of teeth with implants, along with the management of various pathologies in the orofacial region. Patients often find dental extractions frightening due to potential complications such as dry socket, delaye...

description The primary focus of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is exodontia, followed by the replacement of teeth with implants, along with the management of various pathologies in the orofacial region. Patients often find dental extractions frightening due to potential complications such as dry socket, delayed healing, paraesthesia and bleeding at the site. Furthermore, extensive rehabilitation, such as replacing a full arch with implants, was previously only possible for patients in good oral health due to the lengthy and traumatic procedures involved. The utilisation of equipment like the magnetic mallet enables more efficient and minimally invasive operations. The use of the magnetic mallet in oral surgery and oral implantology has gained immense popularity in recent years, emerging as an effective instrument for atraumatic extraction, implant osteotomy, sinus floor elevation and bone condensation techniques. The magnetic mallet is based on the principles of electromagnetism. Magneto-dynamic technology applies controlled forces to a body in a time-sensitive manner. As a result, the consistent and controlled application of pressure makes the procedure more comfortable for both the patient and the surgeon. The magnetic mallet is an innovative tool that provides the clinician with excellent visibility of the surgical site without the need for saline irrigation during the procedures. The present review focuses on the magnetic mallet, a unique and inventive magneto-dynamical patented device used for extractions, implant placements and sinus lift procedures. It also discusses the advantages of the magnetic mallet over conventional surgical hammers and procedures where bone osteotomy is required.
