A dental magnetic attachment is small enough and provides relatively high retentive force to be used in removable prostheses. It consists of a magnetic assembly and a magnetizable metal commonly reffered to as a keeper. Although this attachment possesses many advantages compared to the conventional mechanical attachment, problems with corrosion can significantly affect the useful life span of magnet. This study describes 8 patients with 11 units of a new magnetic attachment which has a higher attractive force and perfect resistance against corrosion. The higher attractive force made the removable prosthesis more stable and the loss of magnetism was not found at all. Tarnish and corrosion except for the dental plaque were not found in any case. Therefore all patients have been satisfied up to date. This new dental magnetic attachment may be viable alternative for the intraoral retention of removable prostheses.
