Telescopically retained removable partial dentures on CAD/CAM generated all-ceramic primary telescopes.
The provision of patients with removable partial dentures on all-ceramic primary crowns with electroplated gold secondary parts is described as an alternative worthy of consideration in dental journals, lectures and in further training courses. The mode of operation is based on a precise, frictionless, passive fit between female and male components. To guarantee this even over large spans, intraoral joining of the individual components is necessary. However, this requires a different sequence of the treatment steps. The different procedures (conventional, procedure by Weigl, modified concept) are described in the following article. Clinical considerations, design principles, and special characteristics involved in producing the partial denture are explained.
