Telescopic implant overdenture

Abraham , Pradeep Koka , K. They are used for replacement of missing teeth without surgery such as implant placement, bone grafting or gum grafting. A telescopic overdenture was chosen for this patient because of its good retentive and stabilizing properties, rigid splinting action, and better distribution of stresses. Other treatment options included extraction of the remaining teeth , followed by a conventional complete denture. 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.

Some of the benefits of the telescopic overdentures include the prevention of bone loss, esthetic appeal, improved speech (when compared with other types of dentures), proper jaw alignment, and improved chewing efficiency.

With only three lower teeth in good enough condition to use, a lower telescopic overdenture was made using the two canines like implants for a fraction of the cost. The final partial looks like a locator denture and snaps in with excellent friction. Should any of the teeth give us problems in the future,. Telescopic crown retained RPDs or telescopic overdentures have better retention and stability.

Telescopic overdenture prosthesis allows for easy access for oral hygiene around the abutment teeth as well as easy handling of the overdenture. Telescopic Dentures or bridges as alternative or addition to dental implants. There are many cases where a fixed restoration purely retained by dental (titanium) implants is either not possible due to missing jaw bone, medical conditions or the associated risk of infections around implants covered permanently by.

Wearing ill-fitting dentures can increase air intake and cause flatulence. A telescopic denture will require a root canal for each tooth that is fitted with a crown.

It is one of the most practical measures used in preventive dentistry. It is found to help in the preservation of alveolar bone and delay the process of complete edentulism. An overdenture is a denture, the base of which covers one or more teeth, prepared roots or implants. Overdentures can be either tooth supported or implant supported. The use of dental implants to support mandibular or maxillary overdentures is a widely used treatment modality.

Advantages are an increase in retention, an increase in chewing ability, and easy access for oral hygiene procedures. While telescopic and conical crowns have been used for decades to connect natural teeth to overdentures,. The telescopic or sleeve overdenture restoration is an excellent alternative to the extensive cortical grafting often necessary for the treatment of atrophic alveolar ridges.

Although this restoration is a removable prosthesis, the patient perceives the stability of a fixed prosthesis. The conventional modality of treatment of partial edentulousness with reduced number of teeth was to render them complete edentulous and provide them complete denture or an overdenture with support of few remaining teeth. The electroforming process makes for a viable, convenient, and economic alternative to cast metal substructures and was described previously for fabrication of secondary crowns of maxillary implant -supported telescopic overdentures opposing a mandibular implant -supported telescopic overdenture. If need remove locator housing.

Heat up a allen wrench of mirror handle (red hot) and insert into empty housings. It may take two attempts and light cured material doesn’t soften like like acrylic but breaks down and crumbles and takes a few extra attempts. A wide variety of commercially available attachment systems are used to connect implants to overdentures.

Most commonly used attachments include stu bar, magmatic, and telescopic attachments. In this review article, author reviewed the literature concerning the types, designs, and requirements of attachments systems. For patients with teeth and strong bone structure the bar joint overdentures are prescribed.

On the other hand if you if severe bone loss in the jaws and your teeth are all gone then telescopic overdentures are the usual method to build some kind of support for the artificial teeth to stay in place.

WILLIAM HUNTER put forward his focal sepsis theory and this dealt a great blow to the overdenture mode of treatment. The main point of contention was that the exposed roots act as foci of infection. PEESO was employing removable telescopic crowns.
