Long‐term evaluation of implant‐supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) with cantilever extension in posterior areas. A retrospective cohort study

Background: Despite the amount of evidence documenting the successful long-term use of osseointegrated dental implants to support fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), alternative implant-supported prosthetic solutions aiming at reducing patient's morbidity (i.e. FDPs with cantilever extension) have been proposed. However, some questions remain on the use of cantilever extensions in posterior areas where loading forces may jeopardize marginal bone...
