        abstract = {The way stress is spread out in a clinical prosthesis can be quite complicated. It can include different types of stress, such as compression (squeezing), tension (pulling apart), shear (sliding forces), or a combination of these, depending on the conditions it’s under. Brittle materials like dental ceramics are prone to failure when subjected to tensile stress (Peterson et al., 1998). The connector area can be seen as a factor that increases the risk of fractures because it causes the tensile stress to become more concentrated, especially when the material is under flexural compressive forces. Articles on connector design, position, dimension and all ceramic materials were searched in google scholar, PubMed, Scopus. Then relevant articles were selected and analyzed. The design of connector and dimensions paly a vital role in stress distribution and overall survivability of all ceramic fixed partial denture especially in the gingival embrasure area compared to occlusal embrasure area. Convex connector design helps in better stress distribution than concave connector design.},
