  • Title: Long-term results of telescopic crown retained dentures--a retrospective study.
    Author: Eisenburger M, Gray G, Tschernitschek H.
    Journal: Eur J Prosthodont Restor Dent; 2000 Sep; 8(3):87-91. PubMed ID: 11307565.
    Abstract:
    The clinical data for 250 telescopic crown retained dentures involving 617 abutment teeth preparations were collected and analysed in a retrospective study to ascertain the survival rate of the dentures and their abutment teeth. During the study period 10.6% of the abutment teeth had to be extracted. An increased number of telescopic crowns significantly improved the longevity of the prostheses and their associated abutment teeth in most denture designs, but this was not found to be the case with bilateral free-end saddle designs without an anterior bounded saddle. The use of more than four abutment teeth did not result in a higher survival rate.
