[Clinical consideration for the bridge pontic with the removable plate applying SmCo5 magnet and ferromagnetic alloy].
SmCo5 magnets and ferromagnetic alloy, which were recently developed, have been used to the removable prosthesis, but are not used to the fixed one. We have applied them as a retainer to the bridge pontic with the removable plate. This pontic have following advantage: 1. It is easy to clean and to alter the pontic lower area attached to the alveolar tissue. 2. It is a simple apparatus. Here we propound 2 typical cases with fine result.
