title: Telescopic copings in restorative dentistry.
abstract: The complete mouth reconstruction of a periodontally compromised dentition is a tremendous challenge. Although the treatment is complex, the rewards can be satisfying. In some cases, the use of telescopic copings overcomes several of the problems associated with periodontal prosthetic treatment. This article reviews the advantages and disadvantages in the use of telescopic copings in restorative dentistry.
