[Clinical study on the correlation between occlusion raising and free-way space]

This paper presents three cases in which CSC telescope dentures were inserted following occlusion raising. Post-operative course remained uneventful in all three cases. Follow-up observations suggested that the use of CSC telescope denture, is helpful in prosthetic treatment which includes occlusion raising. In Case 1, occlusion was raised to a level above the free-way space. However, a new free-way space appeared after occlusion raising and it existed for a long time. A free-way space, which conformed to a space calculated from the free-way space before occlusion raising and the amount of occlusion raising, appeared in Case 2. In Case 3, however, the free-way space after occlusion raising was narrower compared to a space calculated from free-way space before occlusion raising and amount of occlusion raising.
