OUTCOMES OF POSTERIOR DENTAL IMPLANTS WITH CLOSED SINUS LIFT USING MAGNETIC MALLET
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of posterior dental implant placement with closed sinus lift using Magnetic Mallet. Materials and Methods: A controlled clinical intervention study was conducted on 24 patients, including 20 implant sites using Magnetic Mallet (Group 1) and 20 implant sites using the CAS-kit (Group 2), from June 2023 to August 2024. Results: Postoperative outcomes showed that all implants achieved good primary stability, with most initial stability values ranging from 30-35 Ncm in both groups. Immediately after surgery, changes in sinus membrane thickness showed no significant difference between the two groups. However, bone dimensions increased in both groups, with Group 1 showing greater bone gain compared to Group 2 (p < 0.05). After 3 months, bone dimensions in both groups decreased, indicating that bone resorption exceeded bone formation. Nevertheless, 100% of implants exhibited radiopaque margins, suggesting evidence of osseointegration on CBCT images. Conclusion: The results demonstrated relatively favorable outcomes for the use of Magnetic Mallet in closed sinus lift compared with the CAS-kit.
