Effects of small-grit grinding and glazing on mechanical behaviors and ageing resistance of a super-translucent dental zirconia

Conclusions The results suggest that small-grit grinding is beneficial to the strength and ageing resistance of the super-translucent dental zirconia; however, glazing is not necessary and even impairs the strength for the super-translucent dental zirconia. Clinical significance This study is helpful to the researches about dental grinding tools and maybe useful for dentists to choose reasonable zirconia surface treatments.
