Abstract

<p>Patient: A 44-year-old female patient with a left cleft lip and palate complained of esthetic problems. The diagnosis was that there were caries on the abutment teeth of a maxillary bridge. Teeth diagnosed as difficult to preserve were extracted. Esthetics were improved by placing maxillary provisional dentures, and later, an electroformed telescopic crown-retained denture was inserted to address the issue.</p><p>Discussion: Due to the imbalance of the remaining teeth between the maxilla and mandible, concerns arose about overloading the maxillary teeth. Thus, an electroformed telescopic crown-retained denture was chosen to enhance support, esthetics, and functional load distribution. The sufficient support by the telescopic denture reduced the stress on the remaining teeth and distributed the functional load, leading to a good treatment outcome.</p><p>Conclusion: Prosthetic treatment with an electroformed crown-retained telescopic denture improved esthetics and oral health-related quality of life for a maxillary partially edentulous arch with cleft lip and palate.</p>
