Abstract

The plan for rehabilitation of the edentulus in the maxilla and mandible with dental or implant support can be done with the use of an overdenture denture. Improved retention in this denture can be obtained by the use of copings or the so-called tele-scopic denture. A telescopic overdenture is a precision-coupled overdenture, consisting of a primary coping on the support-ing teeth and a secondary coping on the denture. This article reports the use of a telescopic overdenture for rehabilitation of the partial edentulous in the maxilla and mandible. A 55-year-old man came to the Department of Prosthodontics RSGM Unhas with complaints of difficulty chewing food and lack of confidence due to the loss of most of the teeth of the upper and lower jaw, the patient wanted to make a denture to chew and improve his smile. This treatment provides more aesthetic results due to the absence of the grip that patients often complain about, as well as better stability and retention when using the denture. It was concluded that the use of a telescopic overdenture in maxillary and mandibular edentulous patients would improve sta-bility, retention and aesthetics.
