Clinical application of a cantilevered adhesive prosthesis: A case report

A cantilevered adhesive prosthesis was designed for a patien whose maxillary right central incisor was extracted. The width of the edentulous space was much greater than the mesiodistal width of the lost tooth, impeding the construction of a conventional fixed partial denture. A much more conservative and esthetic result was achieved by the construction of a cantilevered adhesive prosthesis in which the extracted tooth was used as a pontic.
