Summary

This study tested how well dental implants with ceramic extensions (cantilevers) work after at least 1 year. Researchers followed 35 healthy adults who needed replacement teeth. They checked implant survival, bone changes, and any complications. The goal was to see if this approach is reliable for everyday use.
