Precision Attachment Telescopic overdenture Yellow Gold Material

• Introduction A telescopic denture is a type of partial denture that provides the patient with a high degree of oral comfort .

• This aspect is, however, only one of the many advantages of a telescopic denture. If the denture is fabricated correctly, the telescopic denture should also have a positive impact on conservation of the abutment teeth. The rigid connection to the residual dentition leads to secondary splinting and integrated tilt prevention with mainly axial loading of the teeth, so that the abutment teeth are protected and any existing mobility is reduced .

• Consequently even teeth with an unpredictable prognosis can be used as abutment teeth. This study examined the impact of incorporating a telescopic denture on abutment tooth loss. A very large number of 1758 abutment teeth were enclosed in the study to evaluate the risk of losing teeth used for retaining a telescopic denture.

• 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 curette deep proximal pockets without the hindrance of proximal connectors (solder connections).

• Nonpermanent cement also enables the restoration to be easily removed should future modification be necessary.

  ---

• A telescopic prosthesis offers the advantage that should a complication arise with an abutment, whether a natural tooth or implant, it can often be resolved.

  ---

• When a telescopic retainer is used in a fixed prosthesis, instead of the cement seal breaking at the metal-tooth interface, the weaker cement used between metal and metal will fail first. This prevents leakage between a natural abutment and its overprosthetic restoration that could contribute to cement failure or caries.

• An osseous integrated implant becomes integrated in a rigid fashion. Because there is a disparity between the physiologic movement of the natural abutment and an implant abutment, telescoping the natural abutment relieves stress to both abutments and prevents decay secondary to cement washout
