Abstract
Patient: The patient was a female age 63 who visited with the chief complaints of masticatory disturbance. The patient was diagnosed with masticatory dysfunction due to coronal decay; the patient was promptly fit with treatment dentures. The treatment denture was easy to float and also induced a sensation of vomiting reflex. A denture with a resin base to provide magnetic attachment was similarly selected for the lower. A subjective assessment was executed by each process for the function of satisfaction and mastication.
Discussion: Vomiting reflex was intensified by irritation due to looseness of the denture, and fitting of a lower denture to provide magnetic attachment was able to resolve this sensation.
Conclusion: Use of stable retention produced by magnetic attachment provided a good sense of fit even in a patient in whom denture treatment induced a sensation of vomiting reflex.
