Abstract

Overdentures have been configured with a variety of attachments to improve retention. Because they can be produced in small dimensions, rare earth magnets like Sm-Co and Nd- Fe-B are frequently utilized in the field of prosthodontics as retentive devices for complete dentures, removable partial dentures, obturators, and maxillofacial prosthesis. However, they are expensive and not all patients can afford them because these attachments are not produced locally, which raises the cost of treatment. This case report presents a simple and innovative technique for making overdenture with the incorporation of magnets and rehabilitating the patient and providing the better masticatory abilities and aesthetics.

Keywords: Magnets, overdenture, magnetic coping
