The specimen were fabricated of A3 shade and compared with the A3 shade of VITAPAN shade guide using sprectrophotometer for the parameters of hue, value, chroma, a*value(red or green) and b*value (yellow or blue) Thicker specimen showed the hue closer to the shade tab compared to thinner specimen, with the IVOCLAR 2mm coming closest to the shade tab. The metal ceramic specimen were brighter than the shade tab but thinner 1mm specimen showed the brightness closest to the shade tab.
