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.
Maxillary defects are created by surgical treatment of benign or malignant neoplasms, congenital malformation and by trauma. The size and location of the defects influence the degree of impairment and difficulty in prosthetic rehabilitation. Lack of support, retention, and stability are common prosthodontic treatment problems for patients who have had a maxillectomy. A prosthesis used to close a palatal defect in a dentate or edentulous mouth is referred to as an obturator. The obturator prosthesis is used to restore masticatory function and improve speech, deglutition and cosmetics for maxillary defect patients.
