The importance of how teeth are removed is beconing increasingly important as the preservation of bone during this process directly affects the

success of subsequent restorative procedures.

The use of judicious extraction techniques for ridge preservation is necessary to preserve bone for prosthetic appliances and/or future implant placement.

Clinical Advantages

• Magnetic Max delivers a more precise control of osteotome of the entry direction (or directionality) of the tip into the bone. This is an important concept since bone is generally formed of parts with different density and that the expander tends to be delected when it moves from a bone part with a specific density to another bone part with a different density.

• A further advantage of the handpiece, combining hand mallet and instrument, is to give the surgeon the possibility to use just one hand in carrying out the surgery, thus getting a higher control and visibility.

• Recently hand periotomes and dental elevators are used with a mallet to reduce the loss of bone during extractions.

• The handling of the device is very simple since the mechanical oscillations transmitted to the osteotome, are transmitted without difficulties to the bone.
