Abstract:
Telescopic denture has freedom in the positioning of abutments, ease of repair for abutment loss, and a simple structure. In this case, the patient initially treated with fixed prosthesis, but had to remove some implants due to diabetes. Given the number and location of remaining teeth and implants, the possibility of further tooth loss, and ease of cleansing, a decision was made to fabricate a telescopic denture. The telescopic copings were made with zirconia for aesthetic appearance. In patients with uncertain prognosis of additional implant placement, converting to a telescopic denture can provide successful outcome aesthetically and functionally.
