Patient Satisfaction and Retention in Implant Supported Telescopic Overdenture With Different Copings

Cast metal coping is the comparator. Because of their parallel walled design, telescopic crowns provide horizontal stability, thus stabilizing the prosthesis against lateral dislodging forces. The overdenture's self finding mechanism in telescopic constructions facilitates prosthesis insertion considerably. Telescopic constructions seem to be easy to care for as they do not possess areas of difficult access for maintenance. This is why this construction also seems to be an effective treatment modality for geriatric patients with serious systemic diseases, which affect the degree of dexterity. Despite rapid development in overdenture attachments and implant-supported overdentures with cast metal copings remain a viable and usable modality in dental practice. There is limited clinical follow-up data of the complications associated with overdentures and abutment teeth restored with metal copings, including post-procedural and prosthetic problems.
