Intrinsic (manufacturing process) and extrinsic factors (laboratory procedures and clinical factors) can affect the translucency of monolithic zirconia. In this narrative review, the clinical factors (thickness, cementation type, colour of the monolithic zirconia, surface finishing methods and wear, dental background, cement colour, low temperature degradation) affecting the translucency of monolithic Y-TZP ceramics were reported. © 2019, The Society of The Nippon Dental University.en10.1007/s10266-019-00446-2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessColourMonolithicTranslucencyWearZirconiadental materialyttriayttria stabilized tetragonal zirconiayttriumzirconiumzirconium oxideceramicsmaterials testingsurface propertyCeramicsDental MaterialsMaterials TestingSurface PropertiesYttriumZirconiumReview Article1084526531Q2WOS:0005621247000012-s2.0-8507024673131401706Q1
