摘要
A three-dimensional mathematical model was generated, representing a three-unit cantilever fixed partial denture and its supporting mandibular structures. First and second premolars were used as abutments with one posterior cantilever pontic. A 5 lb vertical load was applied to the pontic. Vertical and horizontal stresses were analyzed by means of a three-dimensional finite element stress analysis technique. The results showed that a cantilever pontic creates considerable compressive stress on the abutment nearest to the pontic and produces tensile stress on the abutment farthest from the pontic.
