Abstract

Complete dentures are often problematic, especially in terms of retention and stabilisation, especially if the aveolar ridge is re-sorbed. The use of magnets can improve the retention and stabilisation of GTS or GTL and overdentures. This article discusses how to improve denture retention and stability. A 74-year-old man complained of difficulty chewing due to partial loss of upper and lower jaw teeth and currently ate only soft foods. The patient had used a denture before but it was loose and wanted a denture that was comfortable and easy to use and improved his appearance and mastication. It was concluded that the magnetic sup-port complete denture can improve retention and stability so that the patient feels satisfied and comfortable because the den-ture is more retentive and stable.
