A cantilever restoration consists of how many pontics?

A cantilever restoration typically consists of one pontic. This type of dental prosthesis involves a bridge that is supported on only one side, meaning it has one or more crowns attached to a single abutment tooth, with the pontic being the false tooth that fills the gap left by a missing tooth. The cantilever design allows for effective distribution of forces and is often used in situations where there is only one tooth available for support on one side of the gap. Other designs may incorporate more than one pontic, but in the specific case of a cantilever restoration, the focus is on a single pontic.
