Abstract
Traditional and modern-day laboratory techniques can be used to mask vital and non-vital discolored teeth. Two clinical case reports are presented showing different treatment approaches to differing clinical scenarios of partial coverage veneer and full coverage crown restorations, respectively. Feldspathic ceramics should be considered when customization of stump shade correction and equalization is required with minimum facial reduction with veneer restorations. Translucent zirconia (5 mol% Y2 O3 ) can be used to mask metal posts and core restorations on non-vital teeth using an opaquer material that is infused into the intaglio surface in the green state. Different clinical scenarios will present to the clinician in regard to discolored stump shades where understanding what laboratory material treatment options are available that will help guide definitive restoration types and ultimately tooth preparation design.
