Magnet retained mandibular overdenture: a preventive prosthodontics paradigm - a case report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 12
Abstract
Prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with completely edentulous arches especially in mandibular arch is challenging. Over denture has been the choice of treatment modality in these patients due to the advantages associated with it mainly in the form of improved proprioception, enhanced retention, support and stability. Apart from better retention, overdenture are also superior in biting force distribution and chewing efficiency than conventional dentures. What makes the overdenture special is the combination of mucosal and periodontal support. Preservation of healthy retained roots in overdentures acting as natural implants improves the quality of life of patients. New innovative techniques in over denture treatment modality incorporates various attachments in abutment tooth to enhance retention with intraoral magnets being one of them. In patients of over denture, removable partial denture, obturators, maxillofacial prosthetics magnets are used as retentive aids as they can be manufactured in small dimensions. Attached magnets to the remaining root structure transfers no detrimental lateral forces to the supporting element as they transfer the occlusal load to the bone through periodontal ligament of the remaining root. In this article fabrication of conventional maxillary denture and magnet retained mandibular overdenture is discussed.
