Abstract;Magnetic attachments have various properties not found in other retainers because of their specific retentive force by magnetic energy, and they have received attention as excellent retainers with different functions. However, no sufficient guidelines have been established for designing magnetic attachments used in clinical treatment. In this study, we focused on the ability usefulness of magnetic attachments, and classified them according to their purpose of application, to obtain guidelines for their design: [Classification of magnetic attachments by purpose of application] (Tanaka & Hoshino) Type R: for retention mainly. Support and bracing are not expected. Type SR: for support and retention. Bracing is not expected. Type BSR: for bracing, support, and retention. Type R should be applied to cases in which the amount of available remaining bone for implantation is insufficient, and the permanent abutment teeth condition is poor. That is, support should be obtained from the mucosa, and mainly retention alone should be obtained from the magnetic attachment abutments; therefore, magnetic attachment abutments should be placed in the area as far as possible from the area to which strong occlusal force is applied. We considered that this approach useful for protecting the abutments. In cases in which the amount of available remaining bone for implantation is sufficient, and the permanent abutment teeth condition is good, the application of Type SR is possible, and we considered that, by placing magnetic attachment abutments in the area, such as molar areas, where strong support was expected, the magnetic attachments could be used for improving occlusal support....
