The telescopic bridge or prosthesis is a dual supported (teeth and gums) removable coverage restoration designed to fit over your natural teeth and gum areas in order to replace missing teeth.
The telescopic denture consists of:
The primary crowns or caps made of precious or non-precious dental alloys that will be cemented on the prepped teeth the secondary crowns (dental alloys) that are slipping over the primary caps and thus maintaining the bridge through sliding friction tight on the teeth. The secondary crowns have facings (surfaces) of acrylic resin with ceramic fillers the framework made out of non-precious dental alloy is embedded in plastic (acrylic resin) and supports the acrylic teeth which will replace the own missing teeth.
The best results are obtained when primary and secondary crowns are made of gold or precious dental alloys. If you would like to save, our specialised partner dental lab can also use non-precious alloys for the primary and secondary crowns. Periodontitis is a dreaded oral disease that causes the gums to recede, loosening teeth, and eventually leading to loss of teeth. Telescopic denture is used to restore new teeth for the periodontal patients. It consists of a double crown system known as “the telescopic”, the procedure involves fitting the remaining natural teeth with inner metal crowns, followed by outer crowns as part of an over denture that can be removed by the patient. This technique ensures that bite stress is distributed evenly between each tooth, protecting the remaining teeth and the end result looks quite natural. This technique is also suitable for cases of missing back molars.
