Background: Overdenture is a partial or complete denture that has support from natural tooth roots that have been treated with endodontic treatment. Retain the remaining teeth prevent resorption of alveolar ridge. An overdenture with a magnetic attachment can be used to increase the retention of the denture. The magnets transfer the occlusal load to the bone through the periodontal ligament of retained roots that are attached with remaining root structure
Objectives: This case report is aimed to report the step-by-step treatment of complete denture mandibula and complete overdenture maxilla with magnetic attachment retained design
Case Report: A 62-year-old female visited the Prosthodontic Clinic of Dentistry Faculty, Airlangga University with a chief complaint of difficulty in eating. Clinical examination shown partial edentulous in the mandibula. The remaining teeth were 18, 14, 23, 25 and 43.
Case management: After thorough observation from the clinical presentation and radiographic, magnetic attachment was planned on 14 in order to retain the remaining tooth and improving retention and stabilization of the maxillary denture. Conclusion: Magnetic maxilla overdenture is able to provide support, stability and retention.
