Abstract:Objectives
The aim of this study was to compare failure load and initial damage in monolithic, partially veneered, and completely veneered (translucent) zirconia cantilevered fixed partial dentures (CFPDs), as well as completely veneered metal-ceramic CFPDs under different support and loading configurations.
Materials and methods
Eight test groups with anatomically congruent CFPDs (n = 8/group) were fabricated, differing in CFPD material/support st… Show more
