ABSTRACT:
A fixing device for a removable denture mounted on the gingivals of an upper jaw or a lower jaw of a mouth. A stake is anchored in the base or root of the tooth, and a covering cup is mounted on the denture. An engaging member is placed in the cup chamber, the engaging member being a pair of magnetic members attracting each other because of their opposite magnetic polarities. The engaging member may also be a soft plastic annular member. When a ball head on the stake is engaged therein, the denture is fixed in place.
