Disease description:
Today, at my grandma's request, I took her dentures to get cleaned. Suddenly, I became curious: how are full dentures secured in place, allowing them to be easily removed and reinserted at any time?

Full dentures can be secured using magnetic attachments. This method utilizes the magnetic force of magnetic materials to attach the denture to the tooth roots, providing a device that stabilizes and secures the denture. It primarily consists of a ferromagnetic post retained in the patient's dental alveolus and a magnet incorporated into the denture framework. The magnetic attraction between these two components holds the denture firmly in place, preventing loosening or dislodgement. If the denture becomes loose, it should be replaced immediately.
