Does zirconia ceramic degrade in strength intraorally in 5-10 years?
Posted December 28, 2013 by Bloomden Bioceramics Views：617
Yes, all-ceramic materials degrade in strength over time - some more than others. Zirconia ceramic has an initial flexural strength of over 1200 MPa, so even if it degrades 5-10% or more, it is still significantly stronger than other ceramics.
