	Fabrication of a Maxillary Telescopic TRINIA® Prosthesis and a Mandibular TRINIA® Overdenture and the Subsequent Conversion of the Mandibular Brevis™ O-Ring Overdenture to a Telescopic Prosthesis After One Year in Function Posted on September 13, 2018 in Overdentures, Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Telescopic Restorations This treatment of a seventy-five-year-old woman, who was previously told by six clinicians that dental implants would be an impossible treatment option (despite the fact that one clinician augmented her right maxilla with graft material), clearly demonstrates the unmatched clinical capabilities of Bicon SHORT® Implants and TRINIA® metal-free CAD/CAM material. The surgical placement of two maxillary and two mandibular implants is also shown, as well as the initial prosthetic restoration of a maxillary telescopic prosthesis and a mandibular Brevis™ O-Ring-retained mandibular overdenture, and the clinical and laboratory techniques for modifying and converting the mandibular Brevis™ O-Ring overdenture to a full-arch telescopic TRINIA® prosthesis after one year in function.
	Replacement of 25-Year-Old Maxillary and Mandibular O-Ring Relined Overdentures with Telescopic TRINIA® Prostheses Posted on March 9, 2018 in Overdentures, Restorative, Telescopic Restorations This case demonstrates the clinical and laboratory techniques and procedures for the replacement of two twenty-five-year-old tissue-borne overdentures with a telescopic maxillary implant-borne prosthesis on four implants and a telescopic mandibular implant-borne prosthesis on only two implants with 24mm and 21mm cantilevers.
	Replacement of a Failed Screw-Retained Prosthesis with a Telescopic TRIO-TRINIA® Prosthesis with Milled Hybrid Polyceramic Teeth Posted on December 27, 2017 in Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Surgical, Telescopic Restorations, Uncovering This treatment for an 83-year-old woman, who presented with a failed maxillary prosthesis supported by five screw-retained IMZ implants, demonstrates the clinical capabilities of a telescopic TRINIA® prosthesis supported by only three Bicon SHORT® Implants: two 4.5 x 6.0-mm implants with a 3.0-mm well, and one 4.0 x 6.0-mm implant with a 2.5-mm well. The laboratory techniques and procedures of this treatment are also presented. After five months of healing, the implants were uncovered and a telescopic TRIO-TRINIA® prosthesis was fabricated with milled hybrid polyceramic teeth.
	Laboratory and Clinical Aspects of Fabricating and Inserting Four Universal Abutments for the Immediate Insertion of a Milled PMMA Telescopic Transitional Prosthesis and a Permanent Handcrafted Poly-ceramic Telescopic Prosthesis on a TRINIA® Framework with Three Milled Copings and One Custom Cast Chrome Cobalt Coping with an Interchangeable Retentive Attachment Posted on July 24, 2017 in Telescopic Restorations, Uncovering This treatment depicts the detailed aspects and nuances of the above-described prostheses in only three clinical restorative visits, which included: During the first visit, the surgical uncovering of four implants, an implant-level transfer impression, the recording of an initial occlusal relationship, and choosing an aesthetic tooth shade. During the second visit, the extraction of the four teeth, insertion of three unmodified and one modified Universal Abutment, which was unwisely modified to achieve an unnecessary aesthetic effect by using a custom cast chrome cobalt retentive coping, a second occlusal registration, and the insertion of a milled PMMA telescopic full arch transitional prosthesis, with gingiva-colored Ceramage material added for aesthetics, to confirm the appropriateness of the teeth arrangement as well as a transitional device for function while the extraction sites were healing and the permanent TRINIA® restoration was being fabricated. Alternatively, as a less expensive option, the PMMA prosthesis could have been affixed to the abutments without the telescopic copings. During the third visit, the insertion of a handcrafted poly-ceramic telescopic restoration on a TRINIA® framework with three cemented milled retentive copings and one custom cast chrome cobalt coping with a yellow SiTec retentive attachment, as well as the intra-oral relining of the prosthesis with Ceramage.
	Insertion of a Maxillary Full Arch TRINIA® Telescopic Prosthesis Posted on July 18, 2017 in Telescopic Restorations This treatment demonstrates the sequential use of a resin seating jig to facilitate the orientation and seating of four abutments for the insertion of a maxillary full arch TRINIA® telescopic prosthesis with two milled retentive copings and two custom cast chrome cobalt copings on four implants for a 59-year-old woman.
	Insertion and Relining of a Maxillary Telescopic TRINIA™ Prosthesis Posted on January 25, 2017 in Restorative, Telescopic Restorations This case demonstrates the insertion of a maxillary full arch telescopic restoration with two conventional telescopic copings with yellow retentive inserts and two milled titanium copings on four implants, one of which is badly positioned.
	Fabrication and Insertion of a Four-Implant Mandibular Full Arch TRINIA™ Telescopic Prosthesis with Two Lithium Disilicate Crowns to Resist Abrasion of Composite Denture Teeth Against Opposing Maxillary Porcelain Restorations Posted on November 25, 2016 in Surgical, Telescopic Restorations This case demonstrates the fabrication of a four-implant mandibular full arch TRINIA™ telescopic prosthesis, beginning with the making of an implant-level transfer impression and bite registration, followed by the laboratory fabrication of a soft tissue model with four Universal abutments prosthetic posts with two to three degrees of parallelism; a light-cured resin verification jig with milled retentive copings to confirm both a path of insertion and retentiveness of the intended TRINIA™ prosthesis; a light-cured resin seating jig to facilitate the orientation and initial seating of the four Universal abutments intra-orally; and two lithium disilicate molar crowns to preserve the patient’s vertical dimension of the occlusion, by resisting the abrasion of the composite denture teeth against the patient’s maxillary porcelain restorations. Finally, three red retentive copings and one metallic non-retentive coping, which were seated on the Universal abutments, were intra-orally cemented into the bores of the mandibular full arch TRINIA™ prosthesis to provide the patient with a functionally stable and aesthetic restoration.
	Restoration of Maxillary and Mandibular Full-Arch Telescopic TRINIA™ Prostheses Posted on August 28, 2015 in Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Telescopic Restorations This case demonstrates the clinical and laboratory procedures for the fabrication of maxillary and mandibular full-arch telescopic TRINIA™ restorations, each using four Bicon SHORT® Implants and cast chrome cobalt copings with Si-tec TK-FRIC retentive attachments in only three clinical visits.
	Insertion of a Fixed Telescopic TRINIA™ CAD/CAM Prosthesis Posted on August 7, 2015 in Fixed, Restorative, Telescopic Restorations This case demonstrates the cementation of four telescopic copings into a full-arch maxillary TRINIA™ CAD/CAM prosthesis and its insertion onto four Bicon abutments. The telescopic copings, which are bonded to the prosthesis via Ceraresin® Bond (CRB) by Shofu, are used to realign the abutments to better fit the bores of the prosthesis for both comfort and effective use.
	Telescopic Restoration Technique Posted on August 14, 2003 in Restorative, Telescopic Restorations The telescopic or sleeve overdenture restoration is an excellent alternative to extensive cortical bone grafting, that is often necessary for the treatment of atrophic alveolar ridges. Although it is a removable prosthesis, the patient perceives that the overdenture has the stability of a fixed prosthesis. Three implants placed bilaterally is the ideal support for this prosthesis. Straight and angled solid core Bicon abutments with 360° of universal positioning not only facilitate the fabrication but also enhance the possibility for exceptional aesthetics with the telescopic restoration because the abutment itself can act as the primary crown. Although the positioning of the abutments in the following clinical case is not typical of a telescopic restoration, the depicted techniques are demonstrative.
