Magdent’s innovative pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) healing abutments go beyond the surface to stimulate and reinforce the body’s natural healing process for dental implant procedures. The patented technology accelerates regeneration of bone and soft tissue, shortening osseointegration time, and enabling successful implant procedures in high-risk patients like heavy smokers, diabetics and osteoporosis patients, etc.
By reducing inflammation, the technology becomes an essential component for suppressing peri-implantitis and accelerating bone growth.
Dental implants are currently the preferred solution for teeth replacement. As such, they are driving intense development to meet growing patient demand. In addition to being a time-consuming, lengthy process, the failure rate of implantation increases significantly in patients with poor bone quality (~20% of candidates) or insufficient bone (~ 30%). Reduced bone quality is typically more relevant to smokers, diabetics, patients with bone diseases and older people, all of whom comprise the population with the greatest need for implants.
Among the market drivers, aging population, improvements in implant technology, and dentists seeking ways to increase revenue through the provision of enhanced implant procedures.Europe represents the largest (~40%) implant market, with more than 6-8 million implants sold per year. The United States is the second-largest (~30%) market, with around 5-7 million implants sold per year. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry estimates that this figure will grow at 500,000 implants per year.
