In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The mail goal of this study is to evaluate the success of the prosthetic treatment with telescopic removable partial denture with framework made of polyoxymethylene (POM). In accordance with the growing older population, who often require complex dental care, it is very important to test simple yet effective and safe solutions. Bearing in mind that POM has proven to be a good solution for conventional removable partial dentures with clasps (RPD), and that it is quite common to have 2-3 remaining teeth, a denture with a framework made of light and flexible material such as POM present a good solution. The hypothesis is that a POM telescopic denture is clinically as adequate, effective and safe as the conventional complex cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy denture with clasps. Telescopic denture should provide better comfort and longevity compared to conventional RPD because of axial loading
