Nowadays, zirconia technology has fallen into step with computer-aided design/ computer-aided manufacturing systems that promise to transform everyday dentistry. Yttrium-oxide partially stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) exhibits exceptional fundamental properties of great interest to dental application, such as high strength, fracture toughness, opacity, and biocompatibility. This article aims to present different clinical applications of zirconia ceramic in fixed prosthodontics, and to discuss the survival and success rate of each therapeutic modality.
