In Vitro Comparative Study of Color Difference of Two Types of Ceramometal after Repeated Firing


Abstract in English

Color stability is an important factor to ensure the long-term of esthetic success of ceramic restoration, there are several factors affect color stability, such as repeated firing. Aim of Study: Color Difference comparison between two types of ceramic fused to metal after repeat firing by using spectrophotometer (Vita Easy Shade).
