Abstract
Clasp-retained removable partial dentures, which are selected to avoid invasive dental implant placement surgery and the challenges of cleaning around fixed dental prostheses, remain a common option for replacing missing teeth. However, the clasps are visually unappealing and patients demand more esthetic treatment options. Telescopic crowns, a more esthetic alternative to clasp-retained removable partial dentures, allow for better oral hygiene maintenance. This case report describes a combination of telescopic crowns and computeraided design-computer-aided manufacturing-fabricated zirconia removable dental prosthesis. This technique offers an esthetic and minimally invasive solution for patients seeking to restore their smiles and maintain better oral hygiene.
