Masking Ability of CAD-CAM Materials at Different Thicknesses: A Study on Color, Translucency, and Infinite Optical Thickness.
Article in Journal of esthetic and restorative dentistry : official publication of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry ... [et al.], 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo evaluate the masking ability of different thicknesses of CAD-CAM resin-matrix and feldspar porcelain materials. MATERIALS AND
methodsSpecimens (Ø7.5 mm, thickness 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm, n = 3/material) were fabricated from Lava Ultimate-LU, Grandio Blocs-GB, VITA Enamic-VE, and VITA Mark II-VM. Backgrounds were obtained from nine composite die shades (ND1-ND9, IPS Natural Die Material). Spectral reflectance was measured for samples against a black background and each ND background. CIEDE2000 color differences (ΔE
resultsVM exhibited the lowest ΔE
conclusionThe masking effect depended on material and thickness, with VM and thicker samples demonstrating superior results. In general, the spectral behavior and values of infinite optical thickness differed among materials. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The masking ability of high-translucency CAD-CAM materials was influenced by composition, thickness, and the underlying tooth-colored background. Materials with lower translucency and greater thickness are recommended for highly discolored teeth. Vita Mark II was the most suitable material for restorations on darkened substrates.
