Attaining high densification without grain growth is one of the main objectives of the sintering optimization in ceramic materials. For dental implant applications, achieving this objective has a decisive impact on the mechanical resistance, the duration and the translucency of the implant. To improve these sintering outcomes a long experimental explorative study is generally required. In this work, we developed a combined experimental/modeling approach allowing a rapid identification of the optimal sintering conditions. The determination of the model densification and grain growth kinetic constitutive parameters has been done experimentally. We found that the sintering/grain growth kinetics have a detrimental acceleration above a critical temperature level. The pressure-less sintering model able to predict the sintering stress, powder densification and grain growth has been used for the determination of the optimal sintering trajectory. We utilized the two step sintering method to approach the critical temperature without an undesirable grain growth. We obtained translucent sintered specimens with a very limited grain growth.
