Analysis of implant-supported cantilever fixed partial denture: an in vitro comparative study on vertical misfit, stress distribution and cantilever fracture strength.

FPDs with frameworks manufactured using a CAD-CAM system appear to be associated with lower vertical misfit and better stress distribution, although the section of the frameworks followed by welding may be a viable alternative. In addition, metal frameworks exhibit high fracture strength. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
