The greatly reduced residual dentition

The friction telescope provides a comfortable and secure connection element for the significantly reduced residual dentition. This is under the condition that important clinical treatment standards are adhered to and a consistent recall is practiced. The present book offers a comprehensive overview of the application of telescopes in significantly reduced residual dentition: After covering the fundamentals of prosthetic design, the clinical and dental technical procedures for the fabrication of telescope prostheses made of gold and non-precious metals are described step by step and illustrated with individual patient cases. The authors also intensively address the topic of patient education and aftercare, including complications, their prevention, and solutions. New insights into long-term performance, particularly the development of abutment mobility, assessment of various prognostic factors, and aftercare are also discussed.
