Magnetic mallet vs piezotome: which tool works best for dental implants in thin bone?
NCT ID NCT07467369
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different tools—a magnetic mallet and a piezotome—to widen a thin upper jawbone so dental implants could be placed. Twenty patients with missing front teeth and narrow bone received the procedure along with a bone graft. The goal was to see which tool gave better implant stability, less pain, and healthier bone around the implant.
