SHORT COMMUNICATION: Fabrication of Zirconium Primary Copings to Provide Retention for a Mandibular Telescopic Overdenture: A Clinical Report

Because of their strength, zirconia ceramics may be used to restore removable partial denture abutments. This carries the advantages of elimination of the galvanic current between primary and secondary copings, along with thermal protection of abutment teeth. This article describes the fabrication of zirconium primary copings to provide retention for a mandibular telescopic overdenture.
