Abstract

Background: Implant dentistry has seen rapid and remarkable progress in recent years. The present study assessed the survival of a single implant-supported cantilever prosthesis (ISCP) in the anterior mandible.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-four patients with missing mandibular anterior teeth of both genders were provided with a single implant and restored with cantilever screw-retained prosthesis. All were followed for 2.5 years for the implant and prosthetic success.

Results: Age group of 20-30 years comprised 14 males and 10 females, 30-40 years had 10 males and eight females, 40-50 years had six males and seven females, and 50-60 years had four males and five females. The difference was nonsignificant ( > 0.05). A screw loosening was seen in total of 15 cases, in 1 at 12 months, 5 at 18 months, 2 at 24 months, and 7 at 30 months, and porcelain fracture was seen in total of eight cases, in 4 at 18 months, 1 at 24 months, and 3 at 30 months. The difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: Screw-retained ISCP developed complications such as screw loosening and porcelain fracture.
