ABSTRACT
Introduction.:
The cantilever resin-bonded bridge represents today a real alternative to the implant-supported prosthesis. Over time, these bridges have evolved significantly following the understanding of the bonding principles and the biomechanics of these prostheses. Their use, however, remains limited for some practitioners because of their concern over their reliability. Through this study, we tried to evaluate its longevity as well as the various factors that could influence it.
Materials and methods.:
Performed on the PubMed and EBSCOhost databases using MeSH words and the Boolean operators “AND” and “OR” to reach the search equation. After selecting the articles, the data were extracted and analysed.
Results.:
Twenty-four various studies (retrospective and randomized clinical trials) were accepted.
Conclusion.:
The cantilever resin bonded bridge can be considered as a minimally invasive, successful and long-lasting therapy in the management of single tooth edentulous cases. Its survival rate has been estimated at 88.3 % to 100 % over relatively long evaluation periods.
