%X Objective: To evaluate the effect of glass fibers on acrylic resin fracture strength in simulated implant-supported overdenture (IOD) abutments.
%K A model was designed to simulate the clinical situation of an IDO (50 12 1.5 mm). Thirty models were divided into three equal groups: ten models not supported with glass fibers (control group)
%K ten models with one layer of glass fibers (experimental group I) and ten models with two layers of glass fiber (experimental group II). All models were exposed to a three-point bending test
%K and fracture loads were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test.
