A cantilever is a bridge where a pontic is attached to a retainer only at one side. The abutment tooth may be mesial or distal to the pontic. [3] In a spring cantilever, the pontic and retainer are remote from each other and connected by a metal bar. Usually, a missing anterior tooth is replaced and supported by a posterior tooth.
A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers).For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete.
In areas of the mouth that are under less stress, such as the front teeth, a cantilever bridge may be used. Cantilever bridges or Maryland Bridges are used to replace anterior or front missing teeth, are minimally invasive but do have a reputation for failure. [14] Bridges require commitment to serious oral hygiene and carry risk. [15] The ...

However, continuous truss bridges do not experience the tipping forces that a cantilever bridge must resist because the main span of a continuous truss bridge is supported at both ends. The result of collapse of a continuous truss bridge (the Francis Scott Key Bridge). It is possible to convert a series of simple truss spans into a continuous ...
The Swindell Bridge is a three-span Pratt deck truss cantilever bridge with arched lower chords. It is 1,097 feet (334 m) long, with a 545-foot (166 m) main span, and has a 28-foot (8.5 m) wide deck carrying two traffic lanes and two sidewalks. [3] When built, the height of the bridge above the ravine floor was over 200 feet (61 m). [4]

A cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge is a modern variation of the cable-stayed bridge. This design has been pioneered by the structural engineer Santiago Calatrava in 1992 with the Puente del Alamillo in Seville, Spain.
