evaluation of color difference between zirconia reinforced lithium silicate (celtra press) VS lithium disilicate (Emax) in relation to natural tooth structure to determine which monolithic material will provide restoration with exact shade and optical properties as natural tooth structure.
eligible patients will be randomized in 2 equal group between study group (celtra press) and control group (Emax) . Single tooth in esthetic zone requiring full coverage crown is prepared to receive an all ceramic crown of . Grouping: The crowns will be divided into two groups: I:Teeth receiving crowns fabricated from IPS emax press ( ivoclarvivadent) II:Teeth receiving crowns fabricatedfrom Celtrapress(dentsplysirona). Shade will be measured using intraoral spectrophotometer and evaluated. The color difference (ΔE ) will be calculated for each sample using the following equation: ΔE =\[(ΔL\*)²+(Δa\*)² + (Δb\*)²\]½ ΔE (perceptibility threshold ) will be evaluated for each group.

new class of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate material available to labs for pressing. This unique material provides top aesthetics and is virtually impossible to tell apart from a natural tooth. Celtra Press is a multiphase ceramic consisting of a glass matrix and lithium disilicate crystals having a crystal length of about 1.5 µm plus nano-scale lithium phosphate . In addition to Li2O and SiO2, Celtra Press contains about 10% zirconia (ZrO2), which is dissolved completely in the glass phase rather than in crystalline form. Celtra Press is characterized by a high strength of about 500 MPa and excellent flow properties during pressing.
