Description

Ozge Gulmez and Esra Kul tested in 2025 how firing speed and surface finish affect dental zirconia crowns. Three zirconia products with different shares of a stabilizing oxide were fired fast or in the normal way. Samples then got varied surface treatments and were aged.

Firing speed, adjustment, and aging did not change bending strength or light passage in a way that counted. Fast firing did shrink grain size, and glazed samples stayed smoother after aging. More of the stabilizer raised light passage and grain size but lowered strength. One product formed more of a weaker crystal phase after aging. The authors say fast firing can be paired with standard polishing kits.
