In vitro fracture resistance of implant-supported terminal zirconia cantilevered frameworks by Tabark Shihab Al Bayati, Saja Ali Muhsin

“…Universal testing machine was used to apply vertical loads to the samples, and the fracture loads were recorded. Variance analysis and Tukey's post-hoc tests were applied for statistical evaluation.Results: There was no significant difference between the mean fracture loads of Group B (587.8±112.2 N) and Group C (591.3 ±81.3 N), but both of these groups exhibited significantly lower fracture loads compared to Group A (893.8±145 N, p&lt;0.001 for each).Conclusion: Within the scope of this experimental study, it can be concluded that implantsupported terminal square shaped cantilever zirconia frameworks, each measuring 5 mm from the distal abutment, are more likely to exhibit greater resistance to vertical loads compared to their oval and oval-square counterparts.…”
