Abstract:
A method for enhancing optical properties of sintered, zirconia ceramic bodies and zirconia ceramic dental restorations is provided. The porous or pre-sintered stage of a ceramic body is treated with an yttrium-containing composition and sintered, resulting in sintered ceramic bodies having enhanced optical properties. The enhanced optical properties may be substantially permanent, remaining for the useful life of the sintered ceramic body.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11 , comprising applying the yttrium-containing composition to the facial surface of the dental restoration from an incisal edge to a distance of one-third to one-half the length of the facial surface proximate the incisal edge, and the applying the second application to penetrate a portion of the porous ceramic body that comprises the aqueous yttrium-containing composition from the first application.
