Innovative Use of Magnetic Crowns for Pulp Vitality and Regeneration - Abstract
Preserving the vitality of the dental pulp is critical in maintaining tooth longevity, yet
conventional restorations often lead to pulp shrinkage or necrosis, ultimately requiring endodontic
therapy. We propose a novel dental crown design incorporating magnetic elements to achieve two
core objectives: [1] maintain pulp vitality by stimulating local circulation and cell viability, and [2],
promote controlled ossification within the pulp chamber using repelling magnetic fields, potentially
obviating the need for root canal treatment. This concept leverages existing literature on magnetic
biomodulation, pulpal regeneration, and mineralization to introduce a non-invasive therapeutic
pathway. We present the scientific rationale, conceptual design, and a proposed mechanism of
action. The concept is expected to initiate further laboratory research and clinical feasibility testing
in collaboration with academic or biomaterial development laboratories.
