Patient: The patient was a 20-year-old female. In this case, the maxillary four anterior teeth had to be extracted due to root resorption caused by impacted canines. After retraction of the impacted upper canine to the position of the central incisors, a porcelain-layered zirconia fixed dental prosthesis was used to restore esthetics and function. Good results were obtained for more than three years.
Discussion: Many cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses are clinically applied. In this case, the position of the maxillary central incisor was the canine tooth, which had a high root ligament bearing capacity, resulting in a good prognosis.
Conclusion: It is suggested that a cantilever fixed dental prosthesis can avoid overtreatment and provide long-term stable esthetic and functional recovery.
