Magi Core Implants offer a minimally-invasive alternative to bone grafting. They’re designed to promote the body’s natural bone-growing processes and prevent complications.
The Magi Fin Thread flexes with the adjacent bone, matching the elasticity of the alveolar crest and significantly decreasing the possibility of micro-fractures. This minimizes stress to the graft and reduces peri-implantitis.
1. Engineered to flex with the same elasticity of the surrounding bone
MagiCore implants are engineered to flex with the same elasticity of the surrounding bone, which reduces stress on the alveolar bone and prevents abutment fracture. This enables easier placement with a flapless approach. It also leads to faster bone healing and avoids declines in initial stability.
Other implant materials, such as 316 L stainless steel and titanium alloy have a much higher modulus than that of human cortical and trabecular bone (80). Therefore, it is important to design an implant with a lower modulus in order to maintain the integrity of the bone-implant interface.
MagiCore’s surface characterization and biocompatibility results showed equivalent biological behavior to the gold standard implant (NobelParallel: NB). Both surfaces were characterized for their porosity, roughness, pore size and interconnectivity. In addition, cytocompatibility and metabolic activity were assessed using an Alamar BlueTM assay.
2. Reduces stress to the alveolar bone
The biting force on dental implants causes mechanical stress on the surrounding bone. This stress has both positive and negative effects on the alveolar bone remodeling. Stress greater than 3000 microstrain leads to fatigue failure of the bone, causing deformations and middle-damage that can lead to fracture [10, 11].
Cortical bone increases initial implant stability by distributing the loading force, but its ability to do so decreases as the peri-implant bone loss progresses. Cancellous bone, on the other hand, has a lower elastic modulus than cortical bone and responds more flexibly to the loading force.
Magi Core’s rib and fin thread flex with the same elasticity as the adjacent bone, which reduces the difference in elasticity that could cause a fatigue fracture in the bone tissue and helps to prevent peri-implantitis. This is the first time that a titanium implant has been engineered to match bone elasticity to avoid micro-fractures in the surrounding bone.
3. Reduces peri-implantitis
The most significant factor influencing implant success and failure is advanced peri-implantitis. This is especially true in the mandible, where most late failing implants are mobile due to bone loss down to and around the implant apex (23).
When compared to traditional implant systems Magic Core’s rib and fin thread have identical elasticity to alveolar bone which significantly reduces stress to the area and minimizes micro-fractures. Its cuff design also increases initial stability, preventing abutment fracture and screw loosening.
A recently published case series demonstrated that Magic Core implant surface technology drastically reduces bacteria contamination inside the implant tunnel and prevents recurrence of peri-implantitis (47-52). Probing depth was reduced and radiographic evaluation showed bone gain. The study also noted that a thorough pre-treatment assessment including risk factors was important for successful treatment outcomes (50).
4. Minimal osteoclastic activity
The tempered surface of the Magic Core implant (MC) induces low cytotoxicity in indirect contact with gingival fibroblast and osteoblast cells. Moreover, a reduction of aluminum and vanadium release, as well as a decreased roughness, improves the attachment and initial spreading behavior of osteoblasts.
In addition, the cuff design of MagiCore increases the initial stability, which allows the implant to be placed without lifting a flap in complex anatomical situations. It also disperses occlusal forces, which reduces the risk of shearing and bone compression.
Finally, the Magic Fin thread enables the implant to be inserted with minimal shearing force to the alveolar bone, thus reducing the difference of elasticity between the Magic Core implant and the adjacent bone. In turn, this minimizes the risk of abutment fracture.IBS매직코어임플란트
5. Prevents abutment fracture
MagiCore implants have physical properties similar to those of the bone os alveolaire, which helps to minimize the possibility of micro-fractures. Its cuff design also contributes to dispersing the forces of occlusal loading, which reduces the stress on the implant and increases its initial stability.
This study expanded the understanding of the fracture resistance and failure modes of implant-supported restorations by considering the influence of abutment materials, implant length, and loading angle and occlusal loading location as independent variables. These findings hold implications for material selection, treatment planning, and prosthesis design in clinical practice.매직코어임플란트
Retrieval of abutment screw fragments or screws that have fractured is challenging because of the difficulty in accessing the area and overcoming the force generated by saliva, blood, or other debris. This article proposes a decision-making tree to assist in devising a logical sequence and technique for managing these situations.
