Abstract: BACKGROUND: Zirconia ceramics, as one of crown and bridge restoration materials, has been widely used in dental clinical treatment for its excellent physical and chemical properties, satisfied aesthetic effects, stability of biocompatibility and many other advantages.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the physical and chemical properties and the clinical usage, service life and key points of cementation operation of zirconia ceramics by consulting the literature, and summarize its research status and look forward to its development trend. 
METHODS: We searched the articles about zirconia ceramic in PubMed database, CNKI database, SCIE database and Wanfang database with the key words of “zirconia and physical property, zirconia and chemical property, zirconia ceramics and clinical applications, zirconia ceramics and service life, zirconia ceramics and surface treatment, zirconia ceramics and adhesives, self-glazed zirconia” in English and Chinese, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Zirconia ceramics has excellent physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility and aesthetic characteristics. Clinical bonding performance and durability of zirconia ceramics could be significantly improved by physical sandblasting and chemical bonding with functional monomer 10-MDP contained adhesive/primer treatment. Different from the traditional zirconia ceramics, the new zirconia ceramic production so-called “self-glazed zirconia” is produced by additive manufacturing technology, which can save the cost of consumables and be used in the processing and manufacture of various restorations; however, its actual bonding performance needs to be confirmed by scientific experiments and long-term follow-up visit of clinical cases.
