Implant-tissue supported, magnet-retained mandibular overdenture for an edentulous patient with Parkinson's disease: a clinical report.

Degenerative neurologic disorders such as Parkinson's disease are becoming more prevalent as life expectancy is improved. Although the use of an implant-supported overdenture is an acceptable treatment modality, the clinician should recognize the indications and maintenance requirements of different attachment systems for individual patients. The use of a magnetic attachment system in an implant-supported mandibular overdenture for an edentulous patient with Parkinson's disease is presented.
