Preat - Magnetic Implant Systems
Magnetic systems provide:
- no path of insertion for patients with limited dexterity
- limited servicing requirements for the operator
- up to 24? of rotation for non-parallel abutments
- prosthesis may engage undercuts for increased stability
Shiner magnets provide retention in two different sizes, while SMART magnets provide both retention and lateral stability.
Magnets have become very popular as retainers for removable prosthesis overdentures for both root and implant abutments. The advantages of magnetic retention over either bars or stud attachments are:
- No specific path of insertion is required (good for limited dexterity patients)
- No abutment parallelism is required
- Soft tissue undercuts may be engaged
- Potentially pathologic lateral or rotating forces are basically eliminated providing maximum abutment protection
One word of warning
Magnets provided only retention--and not prosthesis stability--until the New Smart Magnet!
Still, prosthesis stability should be achieved from denture base extension, other abutments, stud attachments, or any combination of the above.
