New Magnetic Applications in Clinical Dentistry

As new materials and technology have become available, magnetic attachment devices have become increasingly sophisticated, making them a viable option for controlling unfavorable lateral forces in the retention of removable prostheses. Various types of magnetic attachments are now available for a wide range of clinical applications.
This text presents the fundamental mechanical and biologic concepts of magnetic attachments and their range of applications, introduces other magnet-related technology, and demonstrates their use in 27 clinical cases, many with long-term results.
