The introduction of glass matrix ceramics in dental restorations has revolutionized dental aesthetics. A key challenge in the development of dental glass ceramics is achieving nanocrystalline glass ceramics with superior mechanical properties without compromising translucency. In this study, ZrO_(2)–SiO_(2) glass ceramics doped with amorphous Al_(2)O_(3) were investigated to address these requirements. The results indicate that the segregation of Al3+ at the grain boundaries of ZrO_(2) crystallites and the nano-domains of amorphous Al_(2)O_(3) significantly influences the microstructure, including the grain size and stabilization of tetragonal ZrO_(2), as well as the translucency and mechanical properties. The composition with 10 mol% Al_(2)O_(3) exhibits the highest toughness of 8.05 MPa∙m1/2 while maintaining excellent translucency. Moreover, the composition with 5 mol% Al_(2)O_(3) demonstrates lower translucency but achieves a high flexural strength of 960 MPa. Overall, the mechanical properties of these translucent glass matrix ceramics surpass those of commercially available dental glass ceramics, highlighting their potential for dental restoration applications.
