Ultra-High-Speed Sintering of 3.5Y-TZP Zirconia: Time Reduction Without Compromising Translucency.
Article in Journal of esthetic and restorative dentistry : official publication of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry ... [et al.], 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo assess, firstly, the impact of three sintering speeds on translucency and grain size of 3.5Y-TZP zirconia (Katana HT) across clinically relevant thicknesses, and secondly, the effect of thermocycling on translucency. MATERIALS AND
methodsDisc specimens were fabricated at six thicknesses (0.7-2.0 mm) and sintered using SLOW (7 h), FAST (90 min), or UHSS (18 min) protocols. Translucency (TP
resultsThickness was the primary factor determining translucency (pη
conclusionsConsidering the 3.5Y-TZP zirconia composition and the furnace specificity, translucency was predominantly influenced by thickness, while sintering speed exhibited minimal clinical impact. UHSS enables major time reduction without compromising optical performance. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Within the limitations of this in vitro study and within the tested furnace systems, ultra-high-speed sintering protocolUHSS allowed a substantial reduction in 3.5Y-TZP processing time while maintaining translucency within clinically acceptable thresholds. Ultra-high-speed sintering protocols for 3.5Y-TZP restorations, appear to be a promising solution, reducing processing time while maintaining translucency within clinically acceptable thresholds. Restoration thickness remains the primary design parameter for achieving desired translucency.
