Magnets have gained a great interest in dentistry. They have been utilized for different applications in prosthodontics. Prior utilization of magnets was restricted because of the inaccessibility of small size magnets, however after the presentation of uncommon earth magnets and their accessibility in smaller sizes, their utilization has expanded extensively.
