- A cantilever abutment is a type of dental prosthesis where an artificial tooth is supported by only one natural tooth
- The forces applied such as vertical, torsional, and bending forces to the prosthesis can cause the screw holding it in place to become loose or break, and the abutment tooth may also fracture
- Using a cantilever bridge with a resin coating has been found to be a reliable way to replace missing teeth in the lower jaw.
- The use of a support system with a short implant and ball-type abutment can reduce stress distribution and displacement in the cantilever extension of dental prostheses.
