Abstract
Patient: A 57-year-old woman came to our clinic complaining of mobility of the upper cantilever fi xed partial denture. Although we should select the removable partial denture treatment with the loss of posterior support following tooth extraction, this patient did not accept the design of palatogingival coverage. So we employed a cone crown telescopic denture without a major connector. This prosthetic treatment produced a longitudinally stable oral function.
Discussion: The denture, which was designed with comfort in mind, allowed the patient to wear a removable partial denture without discomfort. The cone crown telescopic denture produced occlusal support, improved oral hygiene, and prevented occlusal decay.
Conclusion: We report the importance of the denture design taking into consideration comfort to prevent occlusal decay.
