The effects of local pulsed magnetic field with intraosseous implant on clotting time and calcium level

Abstract

Background: Many researches indicated that magnetic field had effect on clotting
time and serum calcium level when it was used for stimulation of bone healing
and growth. This in vivo study was carried out to evaluate the effect of local
pulsed magnetic on clotting time and serum calcium level when used for
stimulation of intraosseous implant.
Materials and Methods: Forty eight oryctologus cuniculus male rabbits were used in
this study, they divided into two controlled groups and two experimental groups
and each group consist of 12 animals, all experimental groups exposed to (50
gauss) pulsed magnetic field strength. Clotting time and calcium level measured at
intervals of time (2, 4, 6and 8) weeks of healing periods.
Results: the result indicated that theirs no significant differences between the
controlled group and other groups for (50 Gauss) pulsed magnetic field which
indicate no harmful effect of magnetic field on clotting time and calcium level.
Conclusion: The use of (50 Gauss) pulsed magnetic field show no noticeable affect
on serum calcium level and clotting time.
