| Abstract: | Periodontal status of abutment teeth of conus telescope system was investigated in the production of telescope prosthesis on two and four abutment teeth in Kennedy class I edentulousness. In the first case, abutment teeth of conus telescope system were the first lower premolars, and in the second case the first lower premolars and canines. All investigations were performed on first lower premolars, and included the follow-up of following indexes and parameters: gingival index, periodontal pocket depth, bone resorption index, abutment teeth mobility and dental plaque index. Investigations were performed in two groups of patients: before and after three months and one year after the prosthetic management. The results of clinical investigations revealed the improvement of all investigated parameters three and twelve months later compared to the state prior to the production of telescope prosthesis. |
