In this clinical report, we discuss the length of service and subsequent replacement of a maxillary anterior 2-unit cantilever fixed partial denture (FPD). The FPD provided 53 years of service to the patient and was finally replaced with a 2-unit porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) FPD. The original prosthesis replaced a missing maxillary lateral incisor using a partial coverage metal retainer, whereas the new FPD was designed with a complete coverage PFM retainer.
