Rare earth magnets have been used in prosthodontics, but their tendency for corrosion in the oral cavity and insufficient attractive forces limit long-term clinical application.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the attractive force of different types of new-generation magnetic attachment systems.
The attractive force of the neodymium-iron-boron (Nd-Fe-B) and samarium-cobalt (Sm-Co) magnetic attachment systems, including closed-field (Hilop and Hicorex) and open-field (Dyna and Steco) systems, was measured in a universal testing machine (n=5). The data were statistically evaluated with 1-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison test (α=.05).
The closed-field systems exhibited greater (P<.001) attractive force than the open-field systems. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference in attractive force between Nd-Fe-B and Sm-Co magnets (P<.001). The strongest attractive force was found with the Hilop system (9.2 N), and the lowest force was found with the Steco system (2.3 N).
The new generation of Nd-Fe-B closed-field magnets, along with improved technology, provides sufficient denture retention for clinical application.
稀土磁铁已在修复学中得到应用,但它们在口腔中的腐蚀倾向和不足的吸引力限制了长期的临床应用。
本研究旨在评估新一代磁性附着体系统的吸引力。
在万能试验机上测量了钕铁硼(Nd-Fe-B)和钐钴(Sm-Co)磁性附着体系统(包括闭路(Hilop 和 Hicorex)和开路(Dyna 和 Steco)系统)的吸引力(n=5)。使用单向方差分析和事后 Tukey-Kramer 多重比较检验(α=.05)对数据进行了统计学评估。
闭路系统表现出比开路系统更大的(P<.001)吸引力。此外,Nd-Fe-B 和 Sm-Co 磁铁之间的吸引力存在统计学上的显著差异(P<.001)。Hilop 系统的吸引力最强(9.2 N),Steco 系统的吸引力最弱(2.3 N)。
新一代 Nd-Fe-B 闭路磁铁,结合改进的技术,为临床应用提供了足够的义齿固位力。
