Strategies for Masking Metal Show‐Through in Disilicate Dental Ceramics: A Systematic Evaluation Using Different Assessment Techniques
This study shows the potential of resin-based opaquers to mask metallic restorations when combined with lithium disilicate at different thicknesses. Providing knowledge in this aspect may emphasize conservative dental practices by preventing the replacement of metallic restorations and the accompanying unnecessary removal of tooth structure.
