Abstract
Matters to consider at the time of denture design for the elderly include physical condition and the state of oral hygiene control. With consideration of these, it is important to design dentures that canfacilitate risk control, provide a good oral environment, and are easy to maintain. Telescopic systems areknown to be methods to meet these requirements, including course scroll, riegel telescope, and resiliencetelescope, and these should be used according to actual conditions. Although a resilience telescope denturemay be effective for a few cone telescopic systems, removal partial dentures can be used together with riegeltelescope or resilience telescopic system.
Improvement of the quality of eating and conversation of the elderly is planned by using these systems.
