Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 70-year-old female who complained of aesthetic and functional problems with her dentures in which her palatal torus caused ill-fitting and mandibular ridge resorption resulted in functional instability. A roofless metal plate denture for the maxilla and a cone crown telescopic denture for the mandible were fabricated and combined with magnetic attachments.

Discussion: With the final prostheses masticatory function was greatly improved due to the support and retentive effects of the magnetic attachments and the effects of strong support, bracing and retention by the cone crown telescopic abutments.

Conclusion: By using a dental prosthesis with magnetic attachments and cone crown telescopes, we improved chewing and aesthetic disorders and gained good results for this patient with high aesthetic demands.
