title: The system of prosthetic treatment for CLAP patients.
abstract: The prosthetic treatment of CLAP patients is usually done in three phases: an interceptive treatment during two stages of orthodontics, the definitive prosthetic treatment and usually the secondary treatment. In the interceptive phase we use clasp-retained partials; the definitive treatment is achieved mostly by telescope-retained partials. There is seldom an indication for Maryland-bridges or for dental implants.
