Influence of different surface treatments on the fracture toughness of a commercial ZTA dental ceramic

The objective of this study was to investigate how mechanical surface treatments performed for removal of excess of molten glass, influence the fracture toughness of a dental zirconia toughened alumina (In-Ceram® Zirconia). Infiltrated ZTA disks were submitted to three different surface treatments (...
