Abstract
The magnets were widely used to increase the retention of overdentures. The purpose of this study was to compare the break load between overdentures and edentulous models. For this study, Model former(U-402) was used for model fabrication and four different magnets were used for evaluation of break load. The artificial saliva was used between overdenture and model. Breakaway loads were tested with an Instron 1122 at a speed of 2mm/min. The results were as follows. 1. The retentivee forces complete dentures with artificial saliva were than the retentive forces of complete detures without artificial saliva. 2. Magnetic overdenture with artificial saliva showed best retentive force, magnetic overdenture without artificial saliva showed the next retentive force, and the complete denture without artificial saliva showed the worst retention. 3. As the magnetic sizes increased, the retentive forces of magnetics were increased. 4. The retentive force of nipple shape magnet is greater than the retentive force of flate shape magnet in the same size.
