Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of
glass fibers in strength acrylic resin fracture around a overdenture
abutment.
A model was designed to simulate the
clinical situation of an implant overdenture abutment (50-1
2-1.5mm).
thirty specimens were divided divided into 3 groups, ( 10 specimens
without glass fibers , 10 specimens with one glass fibers, 10
specimens with two glass fibers). All specimens were submitted to a
3-point bending test
