Abstract

Objective From the beginning of its discovery, the monolithic zirconia crown was highlighted for its remarkable strength; therefore, only available in opaque color. During the past decade, the translucent monolithic zirconia crown was manufactured to meet the aesthetic and restoration demand but was thought to be the cause of decreasing its strength. This study aimed to compare the fracture resistance between two types of translucent monolithic zirconia crowns, that is, low translucent monolithic zirconia (LT) and ultra-high translucent monolithic zirconia (UHT).

Material and Methods The premolar crown model was prepared using a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing system, producing 1 mm of thickness. Ten crown samples were divided into LT and UHT. Then, each sample was measured for its fracture resistance using Universal Testing Machine until a fracture occurred. The differences in fracture resistance were analyzed using an independent t-test with p < 0.05.

Result The LT showed a higher fracture resistance than UHT (p < 0.05).

Conclusion The LT monolithic zirconia crown has strength and can be used for posterior crown restoration.
