A crown and sleeve removable denture with periodontally involved teeth as abutments: an alternative to a conventional complete denture.
This case report describes the use of a crown and sleeve coping denture in the treatment of a patient who presented with poor periodontal prognosis of multiple teeth. The prosthesis is designed to splint, stabilize, and retain periodontally involved teeth that are not suitable to support conventional partial dentures. In addition, it offers increased retention and stability.
