Fiber-reinforced composite or zirconia in cantilever fixed dental prosthesis? 36-month follow-up clinical study
Lingual and occlusal coverage designs significantly enhance the strength and longevity of cantilever IR-FDPs while offering a reliable, minimally invasive solution with function, durability, and aesthetics. These designs effectively withstand occlusal forces when the cantilever pontic has a contact point.
