Abstract
This letter has been written to draw your attention to the recently published study in the Journal of Isfahan Dental School entitled "The Effect of Zirconium Oxide Nanoparticles on the Fracture Strength of Heat-cure Acrylic Resin" with DOI ID https://doi.org/10.48305/v0i0.2033. While this study provides significant findings, it is necessary to mention the limitations that may affect the generalizability of the study results.
