The use of magnets to improve the quality of complete dentures

Penggunaan magnet untuk meningkatkan kualitas gigi tiruan lengkap

Abstract

Complete dentures are often problematic, especially in terms of retention and stabilisation, especially if the aveolar ridge is re-sorbed. The use of magnets can improve the retention and stabilisation of GTS or GTL and overdentures. This article discusses how to improve denture retention and stability. A 74-year-old man complained of difficulty chewing due to partial loss of upper and lower jaw teeth and currently ate only soft foods. The patient had used a denture before but it was loose and wanted a denture that was comfortable and easy to use and improved his appearance and mastication. It was concluded that the magnetic sup-port complete denture can improve retention and stability so that the patient feels satisfied and comfortable because the den-ture is more retentive and stable.
