[Evaluation of supported overdenture by implant and magnet]

ABSTRACT

Introduction: implant supported overdentures may be used as an alternative to fixed bridges especially in edentulous patient who can not afford the high cost of fixture placement. The overdenture may be attached to the implant by one of several methods. One of them is magnet.
