Three-Unit Prosthesis Supported by a Single Implant With Two Cantilever Extensions in the Posterior Region (T-Bridge): Case Report With a 2-Year Follow-Up.
Abstract
This report describes the rehabilitation of short-span posterior edentulous spaces using a single morse-taper implant supporting a porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed prosthesis with bilateral cantilever extensions (T-Bridge). The 2-year clinical and radiographic follow-up demonstrated stable peri-implant tissues and satisfactory functional performance, without mechanical complications. Although the outcomes were favorable in this particular case, this approach should be considered with caution, and further clinical studies are necessary to confirm its predictability and long-term applicability.
