Abstract:

A patient with defective dentition in the upper jaW was placed with implant in left upper jaW.Telescopic ovententure wasfabricated and supported by the implant and canine tooth in right upper jaw.The patient felt very comfortable,and this type of restoration could provide sufficient stability and maintain tooth and peri-implant tissues healthy.The preliminary elincal results of this restoration show that isolated canine tooth and single implant supported telescopic overdenture are feasible.
