Abstract
Various lengths of cantilevers for fixed implant-supported prostheses have been recommended in the literature. No scientific data are available for selecting specific lengths, and different views are reported. Authors contend that longer cantilevers lead to increased risk of failure. This study examined survival of fixed implant-supported prostheses using different cantilever lengths and offers clinical support for the contention.Mesh:
