When high translucency is desired, clinicians may prefer 1-h sintering for KAT zirconia. When lower translucency is desired, 3-h sintering for NEX can be used. However, for NEX, the color after 1- or 3-h sintering was different than the color obtained with manufacturer-specified time, and this difference may affect the final color of restoration compared to the final color when manufacturer-specified time is used.
