Patient: A 65-year-old female complained of masticatory and esthetic disorders. We diagnosed that five teeth were not available. This patient had a few remaining teeth following tooth extraction, so that prosthetic treatment with the cone-crown-telescope system for this patient was achieved to gain longitudinally stable oral functions.
Discussion: We consider that this patient was followed up in good conditions, because she was performed prosthetic treatment using the rigid support concept in the maxillary to repress the movement of a denture substantially, and to protect the abutment teeth and the residual ridge from the pressure of mandibular anterior teeth.
Conclusion: We report that cone-crown-telescope prosthesis for a patient with a few remaining teeth was effective in recovering masticatory system and esthetic restoration.
