title: [The factors influencing the flexural strength of zirconia ceramic restorations].
abstract: Zirconia material has a very broad application prospect in prosthodontics,and restorations made of zirconia through CAD/CAM technology have been applied widely in recent years. In this paper we summarized the features of zirconia material which used for all ceramic restorations and the factors which affected its flexural property. We also sated the relevant indicators and methods used for evaluation of flexural property of zirconia material in order to lay a basis for its clinical use.
