The use of magnets in dentistry as simple retentive devices has long been anticipated. However, as the initial trial use of magnets showed that they had weak retentive force, they were not considered useful until the development of stronger rare-earth magnets. In 1992, a new generation of magnetic attachments was developed in Japan, which allowed preatical application of magnets in dentistry. Magnetic attachments have become the treatment of choice for well-fitting, high-performance dentures. Over 1 million magnetic attachments have been used in Asia in the last 8 years, and their popularity is growing rapidly in Europe and the Americas as well. The success of magnetic attachments has led to new applications in implantation, orthodontics and jaw tracking. This paper will outline recent advances in magnetic dentistry.
