Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this trial was to evaluate telescopic-retained prostheses on teeth and implants.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients with a mean of 2.8 teeth received strategic implants to achieve triangular/quadrangular support. Survival and complication rates were estimated for telescopic abutments and prostheses.
RESULTS: After a mean observation period of > 2 years, no abutment was lost and all prostheses were in function. Complication rates were low, and maintenance services were limited to minor interventions.
CONCLUSIONS: Combined tooth-implant-retained telescopic prostheses improve prosthetic support and offer successful function over a midterm period in patients with a severely reduced dentition.
