Magnet retained Overdenture: A case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Recent advances in dentistry have enabled different treatment options in prosthetic dentistry, one of them is in relation to magnets which are available in small size and with strong attractive force. This magnets can be used for overdenture attachments which increases the stability of denture and reduces the lateral forces on abutment tooth. Rationale for tooth supported overdenture are to preserve the alveolar bone and proprioception feedback. Proprioception of periodontal ligament helps to sense position and movements of mandible, it prevents excessive occlusal load and also improves masticatory performance. Magnet retained overdenture may also be an alternative option for abutments with reduced periodontal support. There are different types of magnetic attachments available commercially. Here in this case report magnetic attachment of megfit is used for overdenture. Keywords: magnet, overdenture, pattern resin.
