Abstract

The quasi-3D technique of photoelastic stress analysis was used to evaluate the stresses of mandibular posterior cantilevers for distal terminal abutments at various levels of periodontal support. The stress concentration index was selected to compare each model. The periodontal support of terminal abutment and the length of pontic must be considered, when a cantilever fixed partial denture is anticipated.
