Magnetic retention is a popular method of attaching removable prostheses to either retained roots or osseo integrated implants. Overdenture treatment per se is a valuable option for the dentist, and the use of magnets expands this option to the retention of tooth roots that might otherwise be scheduled for extraction. Clinical procedures are straightforward and magnets offer a number of advantages over other forms of precision attachment. This case report discusses one such method for an overdenture fabrication.
