Abstract
Telescopic systems constructed using computer aided design and computer aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) can overcome many drawbacks associated with conventionally constructed ones. Since retention is considered the most important function of these retainers, this scoping review aimed to discuss and summarize the parameters that affect this function in CAD/CAM-manufactured telescopic crowns and to compare their retention force values with the recommended retention force. An electronic search was done in Pubmed and Google Scholar databases using different keyword combinations to find the related articles. Seventeen articles that follow the eligibility criteria for this review were selected and analyzed for detection of each of the tested parameters and their effect on retention force. The parameters tested in these articles were divided into parameters related to design, manufacturing, material type, and test condition. Regardless of the effect of these parameters, the retention force values recorded in most of the selected studies laid within or were higher than the recommended retention force (2.5–10 N), which indicated the need to design and set the combination of materials of telescopic systems according to oral biomechanics.
