Magnets, Ball Attachments and Custom Fabricated Attachments for Tooth Supported Over denture in Partially Edentulous Arches- A Case Series

Abstract

Tooth supported overdentures is a simple and cost-efficient modality which helps in preservation of bone. This approach entirely complies with DeVan's maxim that "Perpetual preservation of what is left is more important than the exact replacement of what is lost.Preserved tooth structure beneath the denture base prevents alveolar ridge resorption, enhances proprioceptive feedback,aesthetics and psychological benefits.In this case series, partially edentulous maxillary and mandibular arches wereprosthodontically restored using ball attachments, magnetic attachments, and custom-made coping.
