Effect of ionizing radiation on mechanical properties and translucency of monolithic zirconia

In conclusion, RT may affect flexural strength and crystalline content of zirconia‐based materials, but this effect was not observed under fatigue. Translucency of Y‐PSZ restorations is also not affected by RT.
