Oh, brace yourselves for the riveting tale of dental heroism where the mighty CAD/CAM telescopic bar overdentures swoop in to save the day for a whopping six patients with oral challenges that would make mere mortal dentures quiver in fear. In the red corner, we have oral cancer survivors, trauma victims, and the syndromically diverse, all sporting severe tissue deficits like they’re going out of style. And in the blue corner, the Helsinki University Hospital’s retrospective cohort, armed with the Atlantis 2in1 and Createch removable telescopic systems, ready to rumble.

Get this: a total of 40 implants were strategically placed in this dental battleground—some in the maxilla, some in the mandible, and for one brave soul, both. And the results? Well, two patients were living the dream with zero complications, while two others had their acrylic resin break (because who needs unbreakable teeth, right?), and one patient’s bar structure decided to loosen up a bit—probably just wanted to see other mouths.

But fear not! Every single complication was handled with the grace and precision of a dental ninja, and not a single implant waved the white flag. With follow-up times ranging from a casual 7 to an epic 126 months, these dental warriors proved that with the right tech and a dash of individualized care, even the most complex oral conditions can be tamed, ensuring that smiles are not only restored but also easy to keep sparkling.

So, let’s give a round of applause for the dental tech that allows even the most compromised chompers to bite back with confidence. And remember, kids, in the world of oral rehabilitation, it’s not about the size of the patient cohort, but the strength of the overdenture game.
