Overdenture magnetic attachments are designed to treat patients experiencing complications from tooth loss due aging, with issues like alveolar ridge resorption and reduced oral function. The novel Magteeth™ attachment system has undergone innovation compared previous magnet describing an improved efficiency in denture attraction. A 76-year-old female patient came Department of Prosthodontic Clinic, Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital restore masticatory function improve smile aesthetics. clinical radiographic evaluation revealed multiple missing teeth, specifically numbers 18, 17, 15, 12, 11, 21, 22, 24, 26, 28, 37, 36, 35, 46, 47, 48. Furthermore, there were chronic apical periodontitis, gangrene radix, noted on teeth 16, 14, 13, 23, 27, 34, 38, 44, resorbed the region. We use this case for maxillary complete overdenture 25 retention, mandibular metal frame partial ensure optimal satisfaction throughout treatment process.
