title: [Study of the stress distribution of telescope denture restoration of the periodontal tissue].
abstract: The stress distribution of telescope and clasp removable partial dentures on the periodontal tissue was studied with strain gauge measuring. The results indicated that the stress distribution of telescope denture was more close to the intact dentitions than the clasp denture did. The telescope denture may produce physiological stimulation to the supporting tissues of edentulous area, hereby it may lengthen the service time of the natural teeth and slow the absorption of alveolar bone.
