title: [Clinical appliance of magnetic attachments in mandibular complete overdentures].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the clinical effect of magnetic attachment with overdenture.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ten subjects were selected and treated with Magnetic EX-600 retained mandibular complete overdentures. Each patient's masticatory function, overdenture retention force and abutment condition were measured at different periods and the statistics of each individual were compared respectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Magnetic attachments can provide good retention for mandibular complete overdentures and improve the masticatory performance of the patients. What's more, the mobility and periodontal index of abutments were improved after 6 months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Magnetic EX-600 is very useful to improve the function of mandibular overdentures.
