Comparative evaluation of optical properties of lithium disilicate crowns fabricated by pressable and CAD CAM methods – An in vitro study
Milled lithium disilicate crowns showed superior shade-matching accuracy, which exhibited lower color difference (ΔE) values, inferring closer color alignment with the A1 standard. Pressable crowns showed enhanced translucency and esthetic vibrancy as contributed by higher brightness and chromatic intensity, but exhibited greater variability in color matching.
