title: A new telescopic crown system using a soldered horizontal pin for removable partial dentures.
abstract: Clinical and laboratory procedures used in a new telescopic system for removable partial dentures are discussed. This system uses 2-degree tapered inner and outer crowns with a horizontal pin soldered into the outer crown. The pin is easily adjusted to monitor the level of retention for the telescopic crown after long-term use of dentures.
