Contemporary prosthetic materials are characterized by highly specific preparation for a given application. This means that at the stage of their creation, not only their function is taken into account, but also the long-term behavior of this material during use. In the case of telescopic crowns, an important factor not yet appearing in the research is the aspect of adhesion force and its dependence on the type of biomaterial, but also the properties of human saliva. The use of artificial saliva, which creates a lubricating layer, reduces the wear on the surface of the telescopic crowns by reducing friction. The impact of artificial saliva on the formation of chemical bonds between prosthetic elements, thus contributing to the so-called retention force has not yet been studied. In this work, two types of measurements of gold telescopic crown materials in the aspect of the adhesion process are presented. Obtained results allowed to fully characterize this phenomenon. We modeled the load force between the microcircuit and the surface under study to suit the conditions between the primary and secondary crowns in the patient's mouth.
