Crown and Bridge Department, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Al Azhar University, Assiut, Egypt.

Background: The present study assessed the impact of thermomechanical aging on the marginal fit of hybrid ceramic, reinforced composite resin, and lithium disilicate ceramic.

Methods: Eighteen human upper first premolars freshly extracted for orthodontic purposes were used to fabricate 18 CAD-CAM veneers and divided into three groups based on materials used: group H (n=6): hybrid ceramics (Vita Enamic), group R (n=6): reinforced composite resin (Brilliant crios), and group L (n=6): lithium disilicate ceramic (IPS e-max CAD). Each material's cementation procedure was carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how polishing and bleaching affect the brightness, color, whiteness, and translucency of different CAD/CAM dental materials after they were stained with coffee.
  • Various treatments were applied to disks made from specific materials, with measurements taken before and after coffee exposure, and the results were analyzed statistically.
  • Ultimately, the findings indicated that the effectiveness of these treatments in restoring desired properties varies based on the specific material used.
