    Abstract
    The restoration of patients with reduced periodontal support is one of the most challenging scenarios in contemporary clinical practice.

One way to restore and preserve a natural dentition severely affected by periodontal disease or caries is by means of fixed restorations which splint the remaining abutment teeth rigidly, thus providing the individual abutment teeth with a “group resistance” against occlusal overloading. Cemented telescopic restorations can be the treatment of choice and ...

    The restoration of patients with reduced periodontal support is one of the most challenging scenarios in contemporary clinical practice. This case report addresses the problem of restoring a 38-year-old patient with periodontally and endodontically compromised dentition. One way to restore and preserve a natural dentition severely affected by periodontal disease or caries is by means of fixed restorations which splint the remaining abutment teeth rigidly, thus providing the individual abutment teeth with a “group resistance” against occlusal overloading. Cemented telescopic restorations can be the treatment of choice and combines several advantages, such as: • Removal of the superstructure allows better periodontal maintenance • Better marginal fit of the primary copings prevents abutments from caries and induce soft tissue health • The prosthesis can be repaired and maintained without need of replacing it even in the case of an abutment loss.
