Effect of cantilever length on stress distribution around implants in mandibular overdentures supported by two and three implants

摘要

Objective:There is no definitive study comparing stress distribution around two versus three implants in implant-retained overdentures with different cantilever length. The purpose of this finite element study was to evaluate stress pattern around the implants of the 2 or 3 implant- supported mandibular overdenture with different cantilevered length.
