Comparative Evaluation of the Translucency of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Veneered With Two Different Materials: An In Vitro Study
Lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, as a veneering material for PEEK, offers a statistically significant advantage in both simulating natural enamel's translucency and providing better masking. This makes it a more suitable choice for highly aesthetic PEEK-based restorations in demanding zones.
