CLASSICAL AND MODERN TELESCOPIC CONNECTION SYSTEMS

The purpose of this work is to identify, evaluate and compare the scientific views on the role of telescopic crowns in fixing partial removable dentures. Materials and methods. Analytical study of relevant scientific sources on the issue of the restoration of dentition defects with dentures retained by telescopic crowns. To replace defects in dentition, partial removable dentures are the best option due to their optimal ratio between such parameters as aesthetics, quality and price. The analysis of the relevant literature has demonstrated that using telescopic attachment is the best choice for restoring chewing efficacy, functioning and aesthetics of the maxillofacial system, for removing the deformities of the occlusive surface of the dentition and traumatic occlusion in patients with partial loss of teeth. All of the above mention demonstrates that telescopic dentures have many advantages supported by observing the dynamics of follow up period in individuals who underwent the correction with partial removable dentures and by the opinions of experts. Having analyzed numerous reports of national and international researchers, we can conclude that the advantages of retaining removable dentures by telescopic systems are determined by a number of their capabilities that include the distribution of chewing pressure on the abutment teeth in accordance with their longitudinal axes, providing positive effect on the periodontium and reducing the atrophy of the tissues of the prosthetic bed compared with other retaining systems, as well as by providing a "perfect" aesthetic appearance of the dental appliance.
