Patient: The patient was a 76-year-old female who had chief complaints about the poor retention of the upper complete denture, esthetic dissatisfaction regarding the clasps of the lower partial denture and masticatory disturbance for hard foods. A favorable result was obtained by attaching an overdenture using a magnetic attachment.
Discussion: It is thought that using magnetic attachments for the lower partial denture with esthetic dissatisfaction regarding the clasps was effective for esthetic improvement, retention and stability of the dentures and the QOL of the patient.
Conclusion: For a case with only mandibular anterior teeth remaining, it is effective to use an overdenture.
