Abstract

The crown and sleeve-coping (CSC) telescope denture is a removable prosthesis that is supported by both selectively retained teeth and the residual ridge or mucosa. Limited information regarding longitudinal studies of the CSC telescope denture has been reported as to the response of the abutments and their surrounding periodontal tissues to this type of design. The authors have documented a longitudinal ten-year follow-up of a case which was considered 'hopeless' for oral rehabilitation because of advanced periodontitis. The CSC telescope denture used in this case resulted in a significant improvement to the remaining dentition. The beneficial results of this form of treatment can be considered for a wide variety of clinical applications for the severely advanced periodontitis case.
