In our previous test model, the abutment teeth and the model base were printed with resin and bonded with a polyether material. Some abutment teeth were fractured during the mechanical load test. Therefore, the aim was to develop and evaluate a new model under mechanical loading until fracture with zirconia FPD frameworks. At a fracture load of up to 1,636 N, neither the artificial abutment teeth nor the base model fractured. Furthermore, the artificial abutment teeth did not detach from the base model. Therefore, the model should be suitable for mechanical testing of most ceramic-based framework materials for three-unit FPDs.
