Abstract

In this article, a telescopic implant- supported fix partial denture, and its seven years follow-up is reported. A 42 years old lady with edentulous free end space in the right quadrant of her lower jaw was refferd for construction of implant supported prosthesis. After implant insertion and osseointegration, the implants showed severe mesiodistal and buccolingual tiltation in the manner that might not be corrected by extensive preparation or using angled abutments. Telescopic copings were made to correct the angulation of the abutments and the path of insertion in order to allowed the construction of a suitable prosthesis. The prosthesis is functional and healthy after seven years follow-up.Key words: Telestcopic, Implant, Fix prosthesis
