[The influence of cerebral blood flow of volunteers with magnetic attachment measured by transcranial Doppler].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the influence of cerebral blood flow of volunteers with magnetic attachment.


METHODS
The mean flow velocity of the middle cerebral arteries (MCA) of 24 volunteers with magnetic attachment denture were measured by transcranial Doppler (TCD). All data were analyzed by SPSS10.0.


RESULTS
The results showed the mean flow velocity of MCA of 24 volunteers with magnetic attachment was not significantly different from those without magnetic attachment (P>0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
The magnetic attachment had little effect on cerebral blood flow.
