In Part 1 of this two‐part literature review, the biomechanics of cantilever fixed partial dentures are reviewed. Theoretical constructs of implant biomechanics with special emphasis on implant‐supported cantilevers are also discussed. Finally, an overview of the literature regarding occlusal forces generated by patients with implant‐supported prostheses is presented.
