 Implants are defined as alloplastic
devices which are surgically inserted into
or onto the jaw bone-Boucher.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Classification of Implants.
Based on their location: Subperiosteal

 Transosseous

 Endosseous

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Classification of Implants
 According to their body geometry:-

-Threaded or Non threaded

-Porous or non porous

Materials used for Implants
 In 16 &17th century –Ivory dental implants .
 20th century-Metal Implant devices.
 1940 &1960’s-CoCrMo subperiosteal &
titanium blade implants.

 Titanium:-exist in 3 forms
-Alpha
-Beta
-Alpha-Beta phase (most commonly used).

OSSEOINTEGRATION.
 Term & concept of Osseointegration
-Branemark.
“An intimate structural contact at the implant
surface and adjacent vital bone devoid of
any intervening fibrous tissue.”
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Evolution of the concept of
osseointegration
 Vital microscopic studies of the rabbit fibulatitanium chambered microscopes.
 Series of experiments:-Titanium fixtures for immobilization of autologous
bone grafts.
- Tooth implants studies for healing & anchorage
stability.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Study done on dogs to find out the load
bearing capacity of implants.

Optical titanium chambers were implanted in
humans-to assess the tissue reactions of
titanium implants.

-Smalley etal (1988)

• A traction force of 600gm is used and protraction was
done till 8mm of anterior displacement of maxillary
complex occurred.

ORTHODONTICS

www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Introduction
 Types of magnetic materials
 Properties of magnets
 Application of magnets in orthodontics.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 In 1953, magnets were first used for denture
retention by BEHRAN & EGAN.

PROPERTIES OF MAGNETS

 Flux Density

www.indiandentalacademy.com
 In dentistry, ferromagnetic materials with
static field are used.
 Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy.
 Coercivity.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Coulombs law:-This law states that force between
two magnetic poles is directly proportional to
magnitude & inversely proportional to square of
the distance between them.
 Curie point:-Pierre Curie(1859-1906)

www.indiandentalacademy.com
 High force to volume ratio.

 Maximal force at shorter distances.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
 No interruption of magnetic
force lines by intermediate
media.
 No friction in attractive force
configuration.

 No energy loss.

MAGNETS:-

-high resistance to demagnetization.

-corrosion resistance.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Advantages:-Continuous force is exerted.
- Eliminates the patient co-operation.
-No friction.
 Disadvantages:-Tarnish &corrosion products are cytotoxic.
-Cost factor

 Biological effect of magnetic forces:-

Aronson:-thinning of epithelium under
attracting & repelling magnets.
