The present retrospective study aims to evaluate the impact of cantilever design in the posterior areas of the mandible on clinical, radiographic, and volumetric parameters with an 8-year follow-up.
Full description
Implant rehabilitation of posterior edentulous areas of the mandible is very complex because the presence of noble structures, such as the inferior alveolar nerve (NAI), often requires major reconstructive procedures to achieve adequate bone volume before implant placement.
To overcome these potential problems and provide patients with sufficient function and esthetics, the use of single-unit crowns (SCs) supported by implants with cantilever extensions was introduced. The length and design of cantilever extensions are associated with possible detrimental effects on implant and prosthetic survival. In light of the above, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the impact of cantilever design in the posterior areas of the mandible on clinical, radiographic, and volumetric parameters with an 8-year follow-up.
