Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of artificial aging on the optical properties and flexural strength of ultra-translucent tetragonal/cubic zirconia. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 (N=30) ultra-translucent cubic zirconia discs (DD cube X2) were fabricated. Samples were divided into 3 equal groups (n=10) according to the aging protocol followed including Group (1): (control), samples were not subjected to hydrothermal aging protocol, (n=10), Group (2): Samples were subjected to one-hour hydrothermal aging protocol, (n=10), Group (3): Samples were subjected to 3 hours hydrothermal aging protocol, (n=10). Samples of each group were subjected to optical properties determination using spectrophotometer including (Translucency parameter TP, Contrast ratio CR, Change in color ΔE) and biaxial flexural strength determination using universal testing machine. Obtained values were statistically analyzed. Results: Statistical analysis using ANOVA test revealed no significant difference between the three tested groups. The highest mean value of translucency and biaxial flexural strength were recorded at the control group. While group (3) samples recorded the lowest mean values. Color change (ΔE) was performed for groups (2 and 3) to detect the amount of color change from control group. Group (3) samples recorded higher mean values than group (2) samples. Conclusions: Hydrothermal aging has no effect on the optical properties and flexural strength of tetragonal / cubic zirconia (DD cube X2).
