Final shade and whiteness: impact of various ultra-thin CAD/CAM veneers and tooth-colored resin substrates.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAchieving optimal color control in chairside CAD/CAM ultra-thin veneers, remains a significant challenge for dental clinicians and technicians. This study aims to investigate the effect of ultra-thin CAD/CAM medium translucency (MT) lithium disilicate veneers and tooth-colored resin substrates on final tooth shade and whiteness. MATERIALS AND
methodsDisk-shaped ceramic veneers (IPS e.max CAD MT, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein) with a thickness of 0.3 mm were fabricated in BL2, BL3, BL4, B1, A1, A2, and A3 shades. Additionally, 4-mm thick resin substrates (Tetric N-Ceram, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein) were prepared in A2, A3, A3.5, and A4 shades to simulate tooth-colored substrates. Veneer-resin composites were prepared by combining veneer specimens and resin substrates. Color coordinates of tooth-colored resin substrates (R), veneer-resin composites (C) and the shade guide tabs (G) were obtained using a spectroradiometer. Color differences of ΔE
resultsBoth the shades of resin substrates and veneer shades had significant effects on ΔE
conclusionsBoth resin substrates and veneer shades significantly influence final tooth shade and whiteness independently. 0.3-mm thick CAD/CAM MT lithium disilicate veneers produce substantial shade and whiteness transformations, making them effective for shade enhancement.
