Abstract

Previous studies have shown that SmCo5 magnets can be used for overdenture retainer and that 3 different types of magnetic attachments are developed. One of the most significant merits of these magnetic attachments is that they can be available for prosthetically hopeless teeth-teeth with bone loss or large mobility. We have successfully used these magnetic attachments in more than 35 hopeless teeth for periods of up to 7 years. Here we introduce 3 typical cases among them. Radiographs of abutment teeth applied with magnetic attachments show alveolar bone improvement and this is to clear the usefullness of magnetic attachment.
