All-ceramic and porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed partial dentures: a comparative study by 2D finite element analyses
All-ceramic fixed partial dentures (FPDs) have an esthetic approach for oral rehabilitation. However, metal-ceramic FPDs are best indicated in the posterior area where the follow-up studies found a lower failure rate. This 2D finite element study compared the stress distribution on 3-unit all-cerami...
