Soft Tissue Changes at the Pontic Sites of Cantilever Zirconia Ceramic Resin‐Bonded Fixed Dental Protheses in the Esthetic Zone: A Clinical Observational Study
Based on the findings of this study, cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental protheses provide excellent functional and esthetic outcomes with preservation of soft tissues in the edentulous area of single missing incisors and a gingival sulcus-like tissue growth at the mucosal margin forming an emergence profile at pontic sites similar to that of a natural tooth.
