Material and Methods: Eighteen participants (21-45 years) requiring single posterior restorations with healthy opposing natu ral dentition were selected. In all, 20 monolithic zirconia crowns (n= 20) were fabricated: 10- polished (PO), 10- polished and glazed (PG). For wear evaluation, participants were reviewed at 1 week, 3, 6 months following crown cementation. Casts from polyvinyl siloxane impressions were digitized using a blue light-emitting diode scanner and wear analysis was done using 3D superimposition software. The mean wear of enamel, their opposing crown groups were compared at 3 and 6 months using the unpaired T-test. Results: The mean wear of enamel opposing PO and PG group at 3 and 6 months was 0.016 __ampersandsignplusmn; 0.005 mm, 0.023__ampersandsignplusmn; 0.006 mm and 0.021__ampersandsignplusmn;0.005, 0.027__ampersandsignplusmn; 0.006 mm respectively (Statistically significant, p__ampersandsignlt; 0.005). The mean wear of the crown groups at 3 months was 0.013 __ampersandsignplusmn; 0.004 mm (PO) and 0.014 __ampersandsignplusmn; 0.004 mm (PG) (Statistically not significant, p __ampersandsigngt; 0.005). However, after 6 months, the values were 0.018 __ampersandsignplusmn; 0.005 mm (PO) and 0.022 __ampersandsignplusmn; 0.008 mm (PG) which was significant (p__ampersandsignlt;0.005). Conclusions: Glazed crowns showed higher material loss and wear of opposing enamel at 6 months of clinical use. Monolithic Zirconia crowns should be preferably polished and not glazed to avoid opposing enamel wear.&#13;
