Objective. To investigate the effect of different surface finishing and polishing regimes and low temperature degradation on flexural strength, phase transformation and surface topog-raphy of ultra-translucent ZrO2 ceramic.Methods. 300 (n = 15/group) of conventional zirconia (Z: Ice Zirkon Transluzent) and ultra-translucent zirconia (UT: Prettau Anterior) bar-specimens were made and divided according to the Finishing/Polishing (C - Control, B - diamond rubber polishers, P - adjusting with burs, PB - adjusting with burs + diamond polishers, PG - adjusting with burs + glaze), Low temperature Degradation (LTD)(with or without a treatment at 127 degrees C, 1.7 bar/24 h). Then, a 3-point mini flexural test was performed in a universal testing machine (1 mm/min, 500 kgf load cell). SEM, EDS, XDR, AFM, optical profilometry and Weibull analysis were performed. Data were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-test (5%).Results. Groups ZPBD (1670 +/- 253 MPa), ZBD (1664 +/- 217 MPa), and ZB (1655 +/- 3678 MPa) showed significantly higher flexural strength than the UTPG group (372 +/- 56 MPa). The Weibull modulus was significantly higher for the ZPD group compared to the UB, UCD , UPD and UPBD, while UTB, UTCD and UTPD had the lowest value. Monoclinic phases were observed only in the conventional zirconia groups and were more evident after LTD. Dia-mond rubber polishers presented less roughness for both zirconias.Significance. The use of diamond rubber polishers is the most suitable finishing/polishing method for zirconia ceramic restorations and that final glazing reduces the fracture resis-tance of these materials.
