Patient: The patient was a 67-year-old male with the complaint of discomfort when eating. The patient was diagnosed with masticatory disability due to tooth mobility caused by severe chronic periodontitis, and masticatory disability due to multiple tooth loss. After achieving occlusal support by multiple tooth extraction and immediate dentures, the final prosthesis treatment involved providing a telescopic crown-retained removable partial denture prosthesis.
Discussion: In this case, we attempted secondary stability of the remaining maxilla teeth using a telescopic crown-retained removable partial denture prosthesis. Acquisition of secondary stability by this prosthesis contributed to improvement of masticatory function and the patient’s satisfaction.
Conclusion: It was suggested that a telescopic crown-retained removable partial denture prosthesis improved masticatory function.
