Abstract：BACKGROUND:Zirconia is considered to be one ofthe promising prosthodontics materials because of its high strength, high hardness, excelent wear resistance and excelent corrosion resistance. However, the development of zirconia is hindered owing to the uncertainty in long-term stability of zirconiaal-ceramic crowns such as the cracking (chipping) of veneering porcelain and deterioration of mechanical properties of zirconia dental crowns under intraoral conditions. <br> OBJECTIVE:To summarize the preparation of zirconia bioceramic and its application progress in the field of prosthodontics. <br> METHODS:The properties, crystal structure, preparation and use of zirconia in prosthodontics were reviewed. Reasons that affected the stability of zirconia were also discussed. The future development of zirconia was forecasted. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Preparation of zirconia bioceramics involves the folowing aspects:powder synthesis, biscuit molding, and ceramic sintering.To improvethe istability of zirconia al-ceramic crowns,we optimize the preparation of zirconia powder topromotethe purity, mechanical properties, biological properties and stability. Furthermore, it is necessary to explore the effects of crystal nucleation, growth, second phase and grain size on crystal stability and biomechanical propertiesof thetooth abutment, as wel astoconduct an in-depth theoretical analysis on the effect oftooth abutmentand lattice matching of porcelain crowns on the interface.
