Conditions
Summary
The study aims to evaluate the clinical performance (implant and prosthetic survival/ success rates) of a novel implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis design: the dual-cantilevered single implant bridge (T-Bridge) made out of monolithic zirconia bonded to a titanium base abutment (Variobase abutments)
