Abstract: The clinical application of zirconia restorations can be divided into two main categories: the bilayer composite structure (zirconia-based with veneering ceramic) and the monolithic zirconia restoration (full-contour zirconia). It has always been one of the focuses of clinical researches that how the monolithic zirconia materials improve the aesthetic properties of full-contour zirconia restorations and ensure their mechanical strength. This article introduces the factors influencing the color and translucency of full-contour zirconia restorations from the aspects of material factors, manufacturing factors, and clinical factors, and analyses the effect of metamerism and low temperature degradation on the aesthetic properties of zirconia material for better clinical application of full-contour zirconia restoration in density.

Key words: zirconia, color, translucency, metamerism, low temperature degradation
