Abstract
This case report presents a patient who had been rehabilitated with a telescopic overdenture and implant supported fixed partial denture (ISFPD). The treatment process was as follows: (1) fabricating telescopic crowns and overdenture prosthesis for the lower jaw and a temporary complete denture for the upper jaw, (2) using the temporary denture as diagnostic and surgical guide to optimize dental implant placement, and (3) fabricating ISFPD for the upper jaw. Using the patient's existing or temporary denture not only serves as an alternative surgical guide to calibrate the dental implant locations but also helps to finish the restoration at desired dimension, size, and anatomic form.
Highlights
Prosthetic rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient can be established by using wide range of treatment options
Telescopic crowns have been used in removable partial dentures in order to connect the remaining dentition to the denture
When precision attachments or telescopic crowns are selected as a retainer for a removable partial denture (RPD), removable prosthesis will be rigidly connected to the abutment teeth
Summary
Prosthetic rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient can be established by using wide range of treatment options. Telescopic crowns have been used in removable partial dentures in order to connect the remaining dentition (teeth or implants) to the denture. They may be designated as retainers in tooth-tissue supported cases [5]. Telescopic crown retained RPDs or telescopic overdentures have better retention and stability They protect abutment teeth and residual alveolar ridges [6]. The retention and the stability of the telescopic denture are directly related to the number and the distribution of the abutments along the dental arch and to the taper of the primary coping marginal walls. In order to increase the success rate of the present case, an appropriate treatment plan was created and surgicalprosthetic treatment procedures were performed
