Yttria‐stabilized zirconia was aged in distilled water, saline, and Ringer's solution for 140, 304, and 453 d. The significant decreases in strength (13% to 22%) is attributed to the phase transformation of zirconia from tetragonal to monoclinic. The effect of aging stabilized zirconia in physiological media is still unresolved.
