Telescopic double crown-retained dentures are used for a wide range of clinical interventions for replacing missing teeth. Double crown-retained dentures have many advantages: i) Elements of retention such as claps remain invisible, so that the retaining element looks like a natural tooth. ii) They withstand the same chewing forces as fixed dentures. iii) They are easy to clean and can be simply extended in case of abutment loss. This book provides a step-by-step description of the construction of telescopic double crown-retained overdentures and their insertion into the oral cavity as well as a discussion of possible complications and maintenance procedures.
