Purpose: This retrospective study was performed to analyze the relationship between complications of the posterior mandibular single crowns and distance from the adjacent teeth to the implant. Subjects and Methods: Of the patients who presented Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital & Yonsei University Dental Hospital with missing of the posterior mandibular molar and restored with implant-supported 18 Single crowns between 1996 thru 2007, 115 patients had been followed after crown delivery. The subjects were divided into complication-followed group and a control without any problems. The distance from the most distal tooth to the implant were measured. The prosthetic & biologic complications were reviewed by the cantilever distance and analyzed by abutment type, age & gender statistically using SAS version 9.1 (SAS Inc., USA). Results and Conclusion The results were as follows; 1) The posterior mandibular single crown with cantilever showed higher incidence of follow-up complications upon logistic analysis (p<0.05). 2) The prosthetic and biologic complications are related with the cantilever distance with 2.1 odds ratio and 3.39 cut-off value of specificity & sensitivity by SPSS 12.0. 3) The complications are neither significant in abutment types nor age & gender.
