However, there are disadvantages such as complex laboratory procedures, long treatment periods and high costs, and high incidence of complications. This clinical report describes two cases, a 4-point supported telescopic denture using telescopic crown and a 2-point supported telescopic denture using conical crown with functionally satisfactory results. Frequent complications of telescopic denture, which are reported in various literature were reviewed. Clinical and laboratory procedures were performed in consideration of complications that reported.
