Zirconia frameworks for posterior fixed partial dentures
Five-year clinical results of zirconia frameworks for posterior fixed partial dentures Sailer et al 2007 Studies using finite-element analysis demonstrated that during occlusal loading the highest stress within FPDs was located at the gingival side of the connector area. Zirconia exhibits the highest bending strength (900 MPa) . The preprosthetic and prosthetic treatments were toughness
