Abstract:
Magnetic attachments are a popular means of retaining removable overdentures and maxillofacial prostheses.(1) When used in anterior regions, these attachments often are not esthetic because the metallic color of the cast coping or attachment can be seen directly or through the denture base. An esthetic magnetic attachment with a composite facing can be fabricated to overcome this problem.
