Abstract

Objective To explore the use of cantilevered Maryland Bridge to repair the loss of maxillary anterior teeth that were not suitable for conventional implantation. Methods One case of maxillary central incisor missing, bone condition not suitable for conventional implantation and pursuing minimally invasive restoration was selected. The clinical purpose and aesthetic effect of repairing missing teeth were completed by using cantilevered Maryland Bridge. Through the three-dimensional finite element model of the cantilevered Maryland Bridge of maxillary central incisor, the bridge was loaded with 100, 150 and 200 N loads respectively, and the mechanical analysis was carried out. Results When the cantilevered Maryland Bridge loaded with 100, 150 and 150 N, the maximum stress of the bridge body were 67.68, 101.53 and 135.37 MPa respectively. The stress distribution trend of maxillary central incisor cantilevered Maryland Bridge under different loads was similar, and the stress was concentrated at the junction and loading point between the bridge and the natural incisor. With the increase of load, the equivalent stress of each part increased accordingly, especially at the junction of loading point and cutting end. Conclusions The bonding strength of cantilevered Maryland Bridge should be increased at the proximal end of the natural tooth bonding surface and the occlusal contact of the bridge should be appropriately reduced.
