I approach all my lab work with the consideration of the final outcome in mind, regardless of methods and materials. One criteria to bear in mind is that unless it is single telescopes in addition to other retentive elements, in essence a telescope case is a denture in function-it is removable, even though the primary copings are fixed restorations or screw-retained implant abutments. Standard procedure for any of these is a diagnostic wax-up and/or denture setup. We need to determine incisal edge positions, contours and occlusion. I prefer to work in established parameters-meaning aesthetic A and B points, incisal edge positions-and generate the primary telescopes only once I have a diagnostic wax-up or denture teeth setup tried in and verified. My preferred starting point for this is a facebow or Kois Analyzer registration and bite blocks or CR bite (Figs. 5-7). With implant cases, a verification jig is a must (Figs. 8 and 9).
