基金The underlying research work was funded in equal proportions by the“Arbeitsgemeinschaft industrieller Forschungsvereinigungen e.V.(AiF)”,the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology(BMWi,IGF no.16662 N)and the FVA.The results presented in this paper were taken from the FVA research project 293 III“Späte Zahnfußbrüche/Reinheitsgrad”.More detailed information on the influence of non-metallic inclusions is given in the final report.
