[Translucent zirconia ceramics for fabrication monolithic restorations: review. Part 2].

Translucent zirconia ceramics for fabrication monolithic restorations is a ceramic material of latest generation. The objective of this literature review is discussing the ways to increase the transparency of zirconia, novel technologies of its manufacturing (part 1) and laboratory procedures for fabrication translucent zirconia restorations, factors affecting the transparency, optical and physico-mechanical properties of the material, as well as indications for its use (part 2).
