[Evaluation of stresses in different cingulum rest seats]. / Farkli singulum rest yuvalarinin kuvvet iletimi yönünden karsilastirilmalari.

Both lingual and incisal rest seats are used on anterior teeth. Lingual rest seats are preferred since they are more acceptable esthetically and located closer to the centre of rotation of the tooth. Lingual rest seats can be prepared directly on the abutment teeth as grooves, shoulders or may require restorations such as crowns, inlays and prefabricated rest seats to provide proper contour. In this study, the stress induced by two conventionally applied rest seats were compared with that of the U shaped rest seats which were recently induced. As a result it is found that more uniform stress distribution occurred in U and inverted "v" type rest seat designs.
