Prosthetic treatment of the patients with Kennedy class II (unilateral saddle area bounded anteriorly by natural teeth) is a complex process, because of the difficulties in choosing a proper method to maintain good retention, stability and prevention of unwanted movements of dentures. Removable dentures attached by means of telescopic anchors are regarded to be a good clinical solution in these cases. This is a clinical case showing the use of telescopic crown retained removable partial denture (TRPD) to treat a Kennedy class II partial edentulous arch. The technique used in this case is an effective method in overcoming these difficulties faced by the clinician to provide a long term solution to the patient.
