The preservation of remaining root structure and alveolar bone covering them with denture has been used since many years. Tooth-retained overdentures transfer occlusal forces to the alveolar bone through the periodontal ligament of the retained tooth roots and thereby prevent bone resorption. Applications of magnets in overdenture technique has been widely used in dentistry in the field of prosthodontics, as they can be manufactured in small dimensions as retentive devices for complete denture, removable partial dentures, obturators and maxillofacial prosthesis. This article presents a simple and efficient method of fabrication of mandibular over denture retained by magnets in a patient whose mandibular residual ridge is severely resorbed with few remaining teeth and maxillary conventional removable partial denture. Mandibular over denture retained by magnets assembly consist of magnet and coping with keeper on remaining tooth structure to rehabilitate the patient since magnetic attachments can provide support, stability and retention.

ABSTRACT%Ocular defects result from tumor, congenital anomaly and external injury not only lead to serious impairment of function and esthetics but also make the patient psychologically disabled. Prosthetic rehabilitation attempts to restore these disfgurements may improve esthetic, level of function, general psychologic improvement and quality of life. This clinical report details an attempt to rehabilitate a pediatric patient who has undergone orbital enucleation resulting from retinoblastoma with the aid of custom ocular prosthesis using commercially available prefabricated eye shell.How to cite this article: Janya S, Gubrellay P, Purwar A, Khanna S.
