ABSTRACT
The Purpose Of This Research Is To Measure Influence Of Different Finishing Protocols Of Monolithic Zirconia On Enamel Wear.

Materials and Methods: 21 Ceramic Samples Were Made In The Form Of Cylinders; They Were Finished By 3 Ways; 1st Group By Polishing (no. 7) , 2nd Group By Glazing (no. 7), And 3rd Group By Polishing Then Glazing (no. 7). 21 Premolars Were Used In Chewing Simulator For Measuring The Influence Of Each Type Of Finishing Protocols On Wear Of Enamel Surface. Vertical Cusp Height Loss Of Premolars Was Measured By Non-contact Profile Meter Before And After Putting Samples In Chewing Simulator.

Results: Highest Values For Loss In Teeth Height Detected In Glazed Bruxzir While The Least Was Detected In Polished Bruxzir. Conclusion: Polishing And Polishing Then Glazing Of The Material Cause Less Wear In Enamel Compared To Glazing.
