Telescopic crowns consist of coping, primarily telescopic permanently which is cemented to an abutment permanently, along with a secondary or outer, congruent detachable telescopic crown and is strictly embedded by a prosthesis of detachable type. There has been ample evidence that telescopic overdentures promote oral hygiene, periodontal health and protection of the abutment through primary coping. Telescopic crowns supported with natural teeth have been used successfully in removable partial overdentures. This article presents a successful alternative approach for rehabilitation of patient with removable partial overdenture prosthesis with telescopic crowns to enhance retention and stability.
