[Optical and mechanical properties of translucent zirconium as an optimal restorative material in fixed prosthesis: A review of the literature].

We can mention that zirconium has evolved over time, providing better optical properties, but as a consequence it has been reducing flexural strength and fracture toughness. However, this material provides good biocompatibility with oral structures. On the other hand, translucent zirconium according to studies is a non-recordable material, so new methods are sought to improve its adhesion.
