Case Reports
Freestanding magnetic retention for extraoral prosthesis with osseointegrated implants.
Implant-retained articular prostheses have commonly had clips or magnets in conjunction with a rigid bar splint. New-generation magnets and associated abutment magnetic caps now provide for free standing magnetic retention that is secure and provides improved abutment access for the patient because the bar is absent.
