Effect of connector size and configuration on the fracture resistance of a long-span implant-supported monolithic zirconia fixed partial denture (An in vitro Study)
Based on the findings of this in vitro study, it can be concluded that increasing the connector cross-sectional area and using an oval connector shape both enhance the fracture resistance of long-span monolithic zirconia FPDs.
