“…However, with magnetic attachment, if the keeper and magnet are not attached accurately, the flux leakages will reduce retentive force. 20,21 In order to avoid this type of incident, self-curing acrylic resin was applied to hold the two components together to ensure accurate attachment. This procedure greatly enhanced retention.…”

Background/purpose: Given that many patients find the cost of mandibular rehabilitation through complete overdenture implants to be beyond their financial scope, many seek a more affordable treatment. The aims of this study were to compare the clinical outcomes of single mandibular implant-retained overdentures versus that of complete dentures. Materials and methods: Thirteen edentulous patients with a mean age of 71 years were enrolled in this investigation. They were treated with a single implant inserted into the mandibular midline, followed by rehabilitation with complete dentures. The mandibular dentures were adhered with a locator or magnetic attachment after 10 weeks of adaptation.-Patient satisfaction was assessed by means of a visual analogue scale(VAS) questionnaire both on the day of attachment connection and 3 months later. Chewing efficiency was assessed by a sieve test before and after connecting the attachment. Within-subject comparisons were performed either by using paired-sample t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests to test patient satisfaction and chewing efficiency (P Z 0.05). Results: No implants were lost nor were denture fracture found during the observation period. Significant improvements were observed in all parameters of patient satisfaction (with P values ranging from <0.001 to w0.043) after attachment of the mandibular dentures with a single midline implant. Furthermore, the objective chewing efficiency of patients significantly improved after implant connection (P<0.001).

“…However, retentive properties of overdenture attachments depend on the type of dislodgement . In function, overdentures are subjected to 3D displacements, and the direction of forces can be a combination of vertical, oblique, rotational, and horizontal …”

There are a multitude of systems used in dental attachments considering combined prosthetic. When designing the dental treatment plan, arises the problem of choosing the most suitable system. Habit and experience will influence this choice, but it would be interesting to point objectively on the real advantages and disadvantages of these different elements. Moreover, implementation, wear and maintenance problems often lead to come back to more classical solutions. Among these systems, the magnetic attachments are considered as a very specific technology. Their use is very simple for both the patient and the practitioner, and they have few disadvantages. The present paper tries to contribute to a better understanding of this alternative solution. To do so, a brief bibliographical analysis is first proposed. Then, the two main magnetic architectures used in commercial devices are described. The constitutive materials are also rapidly dealt with. From this analysis, the design optimisation of the magnetic circuit is carried out by using both analytical and numerical calculations. A novel magnetic architecture is proposed, which demonstrates the optimisation potentialities for such an attachment system.
