Abstract
Full-arch screw-retained implant-supported fixed dental prostheses have a high long-term success rate and are considered the gold standard by many clinicians. However, accurate fabrication of a passive fit long-span prosthesis can be challenging. A novel intraoral adhesion method using galvano-telescopic copings was proposed as a way of improving prosthetic fit for edentulous patients. This report describes the treatment of a 74-year-old female with a full-arch implant-supported dental prosthesis, supported by a combination of galvano-telescopic copings and screws to prevent retention loss. Four years have passed since this superstructure was placed, during this time she exhibited a good clinical course with no inflammation noted in surrounding tissues. Treatment with an implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis, retained by a combination of galvano-telescopic copings and screws, can be a useful alternative treatment for edentulous patients.
