Abstract

There is provided in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention a method of osteointegration of an implant into surrounding jaw-bone, the method comprising: applying a magnetic field around an implant, the magnetic field produced around the implant to a jaw-bone depth of up to at least about 7 mm, the magnetic field having a magnetic flux density of about 0.05-0.5 mT at up to at least about 2 mm from a surface of the implant, the magnetic field produced by a coil within the implant. A device adapted for insertion into a jawbone implant and for producing the magnetic field for bone enhancement of surrounding jawbone is also described.
