  • Title: Heightened telescopic copings in cleft palate rehabilitation: a case report.
    Author: Kurtulmus H, Saygi T, Cotert HS.
    Journal: Cleft Palate Craniofac J; 2007 Jul; 44(4):448-52. PubMed ID: 17608549.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To increase retention of overdentures in cleft palate patients by means of heightened telescopic copings with a newly designed attachment. In this study, a "precision attachment" is described to develop the stability and retention of telescopic overdentures. CASE: A cleft palate patient was treated with a newly designed overdenture. Intraoral examination revealed poor tooth structure and retention. Therefore, a new semiprecision attachment was designed in order to increase retention and stabilization. CONCLUSION: The patient's tolerance was increased with the new overdenture.
