Heightened Telescopic Copings in Cleft Palate Rehabilitation: A Case Report

Abstract

The patient's tolerance was increased with the new overdenture.

Anterior Esthetic Rehabilitation of an Alveolar Cleft Using Novel Minimally Invasive Prosthodontic Techniques: A Case Report

“…Several treatment modalities for replacing the missing lateral incisor in patients with CLP have been reported (Kurtulmus et al, 2007;Bidra, 2012;Balkaya et al, 2014;Canpolat et al, 2014;Levy-Bercowski et al, 2019;Szmidt et al, 2019). Although an orthodontic treatment presents the least-invasive treatment modality, esthetic limitations regarding canine color and shape irregularities in relation to the central incisor represent a major drawback (Ronchi et al, 1995;Wang et al, 2014).…”

“…In these cases, prosthodontic replacement of the lateral incisors is required after the orthodontic maintenance of the edentulous space. Prosthodontic treatment alternatives vary from removable (Kurtulmus et al, 2007;Balkaya et al, 2014;Levy-Bercowski et al, 2019) to fixed (Bidra, 2012;Canpolat et al, 2014;Szmidt et al, 2019) dental restorations. In younger patients, fixed dental restorations provide increased psychological satisfaction and should be considered if possible (Bidra, 2012).…”

Interdisciplinary treatment of an adult with bilateral cleft lip and palate with missing premaxilla: The prosthodontic perspective

“…A potential disadvantage of such treatment, lack of adequate prosthesis retention, was a definite concern. The use of telescopic crowns cemented to natural teeth that serve as abutments for a removable 17,19 or a fixed 14 suprastructure has been previously reported. However, these alternatives are expensive and involve fixed copings cemented on natural teeth, more difficult to maintain in patients with poor hygiene as a result of the impossibility of removing the prosthesis for cleaning.…”

“…18 In patients with most of their natural dentition, teeth can serve as abutments for overdenture retention. In some patients, telescopic crowns can be fabricated to support a suprastructure, 14,19 or systems such as the swing-lock attachment mechanism 20 can be used. A dual path design 21 suprastructure could serve as a reasonable alternative in patients whose finances are limited and where a design that facilitates hygiene measures is necessary.…”

Clinical outcome of tooth-supported fixed partial dentures in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients: A case series

“…Accordingly, treatment may be planned for a conventional cast partial removable denture, telescopic denture, or hybrid prosthesis in a combination defect. [ 10 11 ]…”
