RESUMEN

Titanium is used to fabricate spherical and bar attachments for overdentures on osseointegrated implants. This in vitro study investigated the long-term effects of commercially pure titanium on the retention force of telescope crowns with conical interface. Combinations of various materials for the inner and outer crowns were tested. Telescope crowns of pure titanium showed retention force characteristics comparable to telescope crowns fabricated conventionally in a precious alloy.
