Why it matters for dental
Practice owners and restorative specialists should know that the finishing and polishing protocols used on multilayer zirconia restorations directly affect their long-term fatigue resistance, potentially altering crown longevity and remake rates.
Key points
- Peer-reviewed study from JPD examined fatigue behavior of multilayered zirconias under different finishing and polishing protocols.
- Authors include researchers from Brazilian and U.S. institutions, with publication in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry.
- Available online 9 October 2026 — findings may inform lab and chairside polishing choices for zirconia restorations.
- Results apply to restorative workflows involving multilayer zirconia materials, where protocol selection can influence clinical outcomes.
