Abstract

The biomechanical prognosis of conventional removable partial denture is questionable in case of patient with few remaining teeth or periodontally compromised teeth. In this case, hybrid telescopic double crown RPD may be a successful treatment alternative. Hybrid telescopic double crown RPD has following advantages over conventional RPD: secondary splinting effect between abutments, more vertical stress direction and more convenient in repairing the denture after extraction of abutment tooth. In this clinical case, patient had deep overbite in anteriors and partially edentulous. The maxilla was restored with hybrid telescopic double crown RPD and the mandible was restored with implants and fixed prostheses. Long-term follow-up and supportive periodontal treatment were performed, and satisfactory results were achieved in terms of function and aesthetics.
