Aim: The aim was to evaluate the influence of sandblasting with various propulsion pressures on the phase transformation, flexural strength and Weibull modulus of a yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline ceramic (Y-TPZ). In addition, the susceptibility of cyclic loading and low-temperature degradation under two different conditions (chemical and thermal aging) was investigated.
