| ABSTRACT Background: Telescopic bridge provides less tissue coverage and improved aesthetics compared to telescopic overdenture. Purpose: This clinical report describes a prosthetic approach to regain the function and aesthetics of a partially edentulous patient by maxillary telescopic bridge and mandibular thermopress partial denture. Patient and methods: A 62-year-old female patient with many hopeless teeth was presented to ___ University clinic, seeking the replacement of her missing teeth. After thorough diagnosis and treatment planning, she received a maxillary telescopic bridge, and a mandibular thermopress partial denture, and the patient was followed up for two years. Results: The maxillary telescopic bridge and the lower mandibular thermopress partial denture improved the function and the aesthetics of the patient. The patient was satisfied with the results, as the treatment has improved her comfort, speech, and chewing ability. Conclusion: The maxillary telescopic bridge and the mandibular thermopress partial denture showed a successful treatment option for better functional, aesthetic, and biological needs of the patient. | ||
