To provide a zirconia sintered body having both excellent translucency and bending strength, specifically a zirconia sintered body having both translucency and strength suitable as a denture for front tooth, and a process for its production. A translucent zirconia sintered body containing more than 4.0 mol% and at most 6.5 mol% of yttria and less than 0.1 wt% of alumina, and having a relative density of at least 99.82%, a total light transmittance of at least 37% and less than 40% to light with a wavelength of 600 nm at a thickness of 1.0 mm, and a bending strength of at least 500 MPa, and a process for its production. |
