    Abstract

    Long span partially edentulous condition presents a challenge for Prosthodontists. A comprehensive treatment plan is necessary to meet the patients demands and tackle their chief complaint. Bearing in mind, the principles of Preventive Prosthodontics, in such conditions with very few natural teeth, telescopic overdentures have proven to be advantageous. An enhanced stability, retention and support is offered by telescopic overdentures over conventional tooth supported overdentures. Another treatment option can be the combined use of fixed partial dentures along with cast partial dentures, in which the abutment teeth can be splinted together and be used for the retention and stability of cast partial dentures in cases with long span edentulism. This case report describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of the patient using a combination of all the aforementioned treatment modalities to deliver the best possible outcome.
