Abstract
A zirconia sintered body may excel in translucency, strength, and linear light transmittance with no use of an HIP device, and a zirconia molded body and a zirconia pre-sintered body from which such a zirconia sintered body can be obtained. A zirconia molded body may include zirconia particles with 2.0 to 9.0 mol % yttria, an average primary particle diameter of 60 nm or less, and 0.5 mass % or less zirconia particles having a particle diameter >100 nm, wherein the zirconia molded body has ΔL*(W−B) of 5+ through a thickness of 1.5 mm. A zirconia pre-sintered body may include 2.0 to 9.0 mol % yttria, and have a ΔL*(W−B) of 5+ through a thickness of 1.5 mm. A zirconia sintered body may include: a fluorescent agent; 2.0 to 9.0 mol % yttria, and have a linear light transmittance of 1% or more through a thickness of 1.0 mm.
