Fracture Strength of Acrylic Resin Reinforced with Glass Fibers in Simulated Implant-Supported Overdenture AbutmentsKeywords: 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), 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, and fracture loads were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test. Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the effect of glass fibers on acrylic resin fracture strength in simulated implant-supported overdenture (IOD) abutments.
