Substrate masking ability of bilayer and monolithic ceramics used for complete crowns and the effect of association with an opaque resin-based luting agent

ConclusionsCeramic type and the white-opaque resin-based luting agent presented a significant effect on the substrate masking ability. All the discolored substrates tested are adequately masked with veneered zirconia or with LDPc (preferably associated to OLA). The CAD-on technique associated with OLA improved the masking ability over metallic substrates.
