About

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network hybrid ceramic on pink and white esthetics in comparison with lithium disilicate.

The research hypothesis is that there will be comparable clinical performance results between polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network and lithium disilicate hybrid abutment crowns.
