<br/><br/> The present investigation will be done to study the influence of connector design in three unit fixed bridges of In-ceram zirconia on stress distribution in different design forms by finite element analysis (FEA). The four designs will be studied in the following aspects:- 1- Fracture resistance of the three unit fixed bridges. 2- Mode of failure will be studied microscopically
