Fracture-Load Values of All-Ceramic Cantilevered FPDs with Different Framework Designs Ohlmann B et al. - Reinforcement of the shoulder on the oral side of the occlusal wall resulted in higher fracture load values, while increasing the wall thickness of the distal abutment did not improve fracture resistance. The results indicate that all-ceramic cantilever FPDs cannot yet be recommended for clinical replacement of a missing molar. [more...]
