Implant overdenture using Konus telescope on one-piece implant: a case report.
An implant-retained Konus (tapered double crown) telescopic complete overdenture was fabricated for a mandibular edentulous patient. The Konus telescopic overdenture coping crowns and framework assembly were cast with commercially pure (CP) titanium, joined using laser welding and placed on four one-piece implants. Sufficient retention and stability were obtained using this method.
