[Prosthetic rehabilitation with the removable partial dentures using telescopic crowns after removal of unsuccessful dental implants].
It is well-known that unsuccessful dental implants sometimes give rise to pronounced inflammatory bone resorption of the upper and lower jaw, and that in such cases it is practically much difficult to attain adequate prosthodontic rehabilitation after removal of the implants. On this study it is completely reported that two patients suffering from implant-induced osteomyelitis could be finely compensated for with the removable partial dentures using telescopic crowns after removal of the implants, and then the results are shortly discussed from the view of pathology, oral surgery and prosthodontics. In the first case a 52-year-old woman had been suffering from osteomyelitis of the right mandible due to the both bladevent and endodontic-endosseous implant, and in another case a 43-year-old woman had been suffering from osteomyelitis of the right maxilla due to the endosseous subperiosteal implant, and they had borne insufficient mastication on the affected side of the jaws. Several months after removal of the unsuccessful dental implants, they were rehabilitated with the removable partial dentures using telescopic crowns to recover and maintain good functions such as occlusion, mastication, cosmetics and speech, and oral and general health.
