Abstract
In making removable denture, some aspects must be considered: retention, stabilization, support, comfort, and
aesthetic. Retention plays an important role in the success of a removable denture. Retention can be obtained from the
undercut area, or friction of the denture’s components to the abutment or abutment. Clasp as a retainer, both of metal
casting and wire have been frequently used in the removable partial denture. The clasp has some shortcomings in its
using, namely color of the metal can sometimes interfere with the aesthetic of the wearer and cannot be placed on teeth
that have experienced extensive caries. Telescopic crown as retainer has several advantages, which can be used on
crown of abutment that has experienced extensive caries or tooth that will be an abutment but have endodontic-treated.
On telescopic crowns, retention is obtained from the friction between the primary crowns against secondary crown that
serves as a retainer. This case report describes two cases of a removable denture with a metal framework using a
telescopic crown on one tooth that serves as a retainer in the case of one-side free-end edentulous.
