Maxillofacial prosthesis with magnetic stabilizers

Abstract The use of “magnetic stabilizers” has proved to be of great value in maintaining and stabilizing facial prostheses related to oral prosthesis. A complete evaluation can be made only by an analysis of all of the resultant factors: (a) the restoration of mastication, deglutition, phonation, and esthetics, (b) the general psychologic improvement and improved morale values. Maxillofacial prosthesis, in order to be functional, should be of a very simple design, with ease of manipulation for the patient. The use of magnets for stabilizing these restorations can make them simple and effective. Accordingly, the well-being of many patients is further assured and on a sound basis.
