Abstract：Objective:To evaluate clinical results of magnet-retained micro-implant-supported restorations of edentulous jaws.Methods:A total of 38 micro implants were placed in 15 patients from May 2012 to December 2012, including 10 males and 5 females,aged 68-83 years old. The data of visual analogue scale (VAS) of denture satisfaction at the three months and nine months follow-up after implant loading was recorded.Results:within the period of observation, two of 38 implants failed and the remaining 36 implants demonstrated good osseointegration. At the three months and nine months follow-up, the VAS results of denture comfort, stability, speaking function were significantly improved (P<0.01) analyzed by using paired t-test (SPSS 17.0 software package).Conclusion:The use of magnet-retained micro-implant-supported overdentures in edentulous jaws is worthy of clinical use.
