objective: to compare the effect of abutments' proximal wall thickness adjacent to the connector on the fracture resistance of a three-unit fixed partial denture framework. Materials and methods: twenty-eight FPD frameworks were divided into 4 groups according to the finish line thickness on the proximal wall adjacent to the connector (n=7): 0.4 (group I); 0.8 (group II); 1.0 (group III) and 1.2 m...
