Effect of ceramic thickness and resin cement colors on the final color of various monolithic CAD/CAM materials.

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
purposeTo assess the impact of resin cement color and the thickness of monolithic CAD/CAM materials on the final color of the fixed dental restoration. MATERIALS AND
methodsFour high translucent monolithic CAD-CAM materials in shade A2, including lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max CAD, IP), monolithic zirconia (Ceramill Zolid HT+, CZ), two zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramics (VITA Suprinity, VS, and Celtra Duo, CD) were prepared as rectangular specimens measuring 12 × 14 mm in two thicknesses (0.5 mm and 1 mm), (N = 160, n = 20 per group). Subsequently, three different colors of PANAVIA™ SA(PV) Cement Universal Automix Universal (A2), White (W), and Translucent (Tr) polymerized resin cement specimens (12 × 14 × 0.2 mm) were placed underneath the ceramic samples. After and befor aging color values were measured. The color difference was calculated using CIEDE2000 formulae. Statistical analysis was conducted using a three-way ANOVA and EMF function with Bonferroni correction.
resultsThe 3-way ANOVA for the color difference data showed a statistically significant effect of all three main factors ceramic thickness, materials, and resin cement (p < 0.05). Among these, resin cement color had the most pronounced influence on color change (ηp² = 0.974). The most significant color change was observed with a thickness of 0.5 mm and white cement, with mean ∆E values ranging from 7.72 to 3.40. All ceramic groups, except for monolithic zirconia, exhibited color changes exceeding the clinically acceptable threshold (∆E ≤ 3.5). Additionally, all ceramic groups, except for monolithic zirconia, were affected by thickness.
conclusionThe study revealed that material type and cement group significantly influenced ∆E values in certain ceramics (CD, IP), while others (CZ+, VS) remained unaffected at 1 mm thickness. These findings highlight the importance of selecting appropriate cement color and type to optimize the final esthetics of monolithic restorations.
