Abstract

While restoring patients with poor oral hygiene, it is mandatory to consider the self-cleansing ability of the prosthesis to reduce the risk of progression of the disease. The use of telescopic retainers continues to allow treatment options for prostheses that facilitate access for cleaning by the patient and/or dentist and retain questionable teeth longer. The concept of removable telescopic partial denture resulted from clinical experiments with the tooth supported complete denture [1]. It is also considered as a removable periodontal prosthesis, as it provides cross arch splinting of the periodontally compromised teeth and helps in equally distributing the forces along the long axis of the abutment [2-6]. In addition, a telescopic prosthesis can be designed to be cemented with light cement, which can satisfy a patient’s need for a fixed prosthesis, but also allow for removal by a dentist to carryout prophylactic procedure to maintain hygiene. In this case report, a patient was successfully rehabilitated with a removable telescopic crown retained hybrid denture with metal ceramic crown on the remaining anterior teeth.
