Abstract
Patient: A 64-year-old woman came to our hospital with the chief complaint of inflammatory pain in the marginal gingiva of the maxillary molars and mastication disorder due to ill-fitting mandibular dentures. Ill-fitting margin of the prosthetic device and imbalance of the crown-root ratio were observed. In order to improve the crown-root ratio and oral hygiene, a treatment denture was placed. The magnetic attachment overdenture was selected as the final prosthesis in consideration of a design that would less affect the occlusal relationship in the future.
Discussion: It is considered that the stability of the denture when functioning can be achieved by dispersing the occlusal force and improving the crown-root ratio.
Conclusion: A long-lasting good outcome was obtained by applying the magnetic attachment overdenture for the treatment of cross bite.
