Impact of CAD-CAM designed telescopic crown retainers |
Official scientific title |
Impact of CAD-CAM designed telescopic crown retainers versus conventional clasps on the Quality of Life and Muscle Activity for Patients Restored by Mandibular distal extension removable partial dentures |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Posterior distal extension partial denture bases present a number of design challenges. Of particular concern is the equitable distribution of forces that may become adverse during functional and parafunctional activities to maintain remaining alveolar ridges and teeth in an optimal state of health and to provide the patient with improved comfort and function, These forces are often compensated for to some extent by framework and denture base design variation. Telescopic crown is used to provide support, retention and stability for removable partial or complete dentures. They also provide improved functions as compared to the conventional dentures, such as an improved biting force, chewing efficiency and even phonetics. Telescopic crowns have proven more effective than other direct retainers. Their degree of retention can be planned to suit different situations by modifying the design, Telescope crowns are used to retain partial dentures provide the best possible force distribution to the abutment teeth and improve patients oral health-related quality of life. The fabrication of complete dentures using a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system has the potential to simplify the above process and resolve the associated problems. In recent years, CAD/CAM systems have been successfully introduced into restorative dentistry and maxillofacial technology. |
