Patient: The patient was a 58 years old woman. Masticatory disturbance was the chief complaint because of broken of anterior teeth and molar abutment teeth in the bridge on her left maxillary. Briefly after the delivery of a traditional new removable partial denture, the other bridge was broken. Then, another set of dentures was fabricated using magnetic attachments.
Discussion: Introducing magnetic attachment system improved crown-root ratio of the abutment teeth and caused better esthetic and masticatory efficiency.
Conclusion: It was useful to use the remainig root with magnetic attachment aggressively. These treatments affected good postoperative progress.
