The study presents a clinical evaluation of the conical telescopic anchors applied in order to enhance the stability of the lower partial removable denture. Main clinical and labolatory stages in performance of the removable denture were described and the method of evaluation of the denture’s retention was presented. The telescopic anchors were applied as the attachments for the removable dentures, the framework of the denture was made from chromium-cobalt-molibdenium alloy, and the external telescopic crowns were veneered with composite resin. After a 12-year clinical observation it was concluded, that this system has many advantages which make it highly recommendable in elderly patients with reduced vision and motion abilities. The characteristic features of this system include: satisfying retention and stability of dentures during mastication, splinting effect, accessibility for oral hygiene maintenance, ease of repair and durability. It was also underlined that this system demands follow-up examinations and visits preventing the abutments from occlusal overload.

Key words: telescopic anchors, clinical evaluation.
