First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
