N2 - Objective: To evaluate the influence of extrinsic pigmentation on the biaxial flexural strength and surface topographic of translucent Y-TZP (InCoris TZI – Sirona – USA) subjected to several surface treatments. Methods: Sintered zirconia discs-shaped specimens (n = 120) (ø:12 mm; thickness:1.2 mm; ISO 6872) were prepared and divided (n = 15) according to various factors: “extrinsic pigmentation” (n: without; p: with) and “surface treatments” (C: control — as sintered; A: abraded with silica-coated alumina particles (30 μm); G: glazed with a thin film of low-fusing porcelain glaze; GH: glazed and etched with 10% hydrofluoridric acid for 60 s. Mechanical cycling (1.2 × 106 cycles, 200 N, 3.8 Hz) and flexural strength test (1 mm/min — 1000 kg cell) were performed. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey's were used for statistical test (α = 0.05). Weibull analysis was used to evaluate the strength reliability. Samples were analyzed via (1) an optical profilometer to determine the surface roughness (Ra); (2) an X-ray diffraction (XRD) to evaluate phase transformations; and (3) a SEM equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to elucidate morphological properties and chemical compositions. Results: Regardless of the surface treatment (p = 0.5459) (Cn: 560.16 MPa; Gn: 573.36 MPa; An: 643.51 MPa; GHn: 542.94 MPa; Cp: 628.04 MPa; Gp: 641.90 MPa; Ap: 554.47 MPa; GHp :602.84 MPa) and extrinsic pigmentation (p = 0.1280) there was no difference in the flexural strength among the experimental groups. According to the XRD analysis, phase transformations occurred in the An group (t → m) and in Ap group (t → c). Surface roughness was affected by surface treatments (An — p = 0.001) and extrinsic pigmentation (Gp — p = 0.001). Significance: The biaxial flexural strength of the tested samples was not affected neither by surface treatments nor by pigmentation, although it can cause phase transformation and promote surface roughness.
