pubmed:abstractText
A replica of an atrophied mandible was constructed in which two Brånemark implants were embedded to simulate osseointegration. Ferromagnetic keepers were then attached to the implants. A complete overdenture was constructed which had magnets positioned directly over the keepers. The denture was then subjected to different loads and the stresses were photographically recorded. The denture was also tested for its retention capabilities. Because of the equitable stress distribution with the absence of high foci of concentration, a magnetically-retained overdenture with osseointegrated supports lends itself well as a prosthetic replacement. In addition, the magnets exhibit sufficient retention without unduly loading the implants or residual ridge. It may be concluded that in a similar in vivo situation, magnets could be an alternative to other attachment systems; however, there are many variables to be considered on an individual patient basis.
