Abstract
Conclusions: Different preparation designs (inlay-retained, surface-retained) had no significant effect on fracture strength of FRA-FDPs in the anterior region. However, a cantilever design exhibited significantly lower fracture strength. Delamination of the veneering composite was observed as the primary failure type after fracture tests.
