Abstract

Conclusions: The present study suggested that flexural strength of zirconia was significantly decreased by chemical degradation. In addition, surface conditioning, cyclic fatigue and thermal, chemical degradation conditions significantly changed the structural reliability of the material's strength. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
