This study evaluated the color change (\u0394E00) and whiteness change (\u0394WID) in bioactive resin cements and how their potential discoloration affects the shade of bonded CAD\/CAM glass\u2013ceramics at different ceramic thicknesses. VITA Mark II blocks were prepared in three thicknesses (0.5, 0.8, and 1.0 mm) and divided by resin cement: Panavia SA Universal (Pn), Predicta Bioactive Cement (Pr), and ACTIVA BioACTIVE Cement (Ac) (n = 10). Additionally, 10 specimens (10 \u00d7 2 mm) of each cement alone were prepared. Color was measured before and after 24 days of coffee immersion. Cement type significantly affected \u0394E00 (p &lt; 0.001). Pn had the highest color stability, followed by Pr and Ac, with significant differences between each. \u0394WID also varied by cement (p = 0.004), with Pn and Pr differing significantly from Ac. Ceramic thickness alone had no significant effect on \u0394E00 or \u0394WID, but its interaction with cement type was significant (p &lt; 0.001). While ceramic thickness does not directly affect the final shade, its combination with resin cement does. Choosing the right resin cement is key for long-term esthetic outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfb16090319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,1]],"date-time":"2025-09-01T16:39:01Z","timestamp":1756744741000},"page":"319","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Bioactive Resin Cement Color Stability and Restoration Thickness as Determinants of the Final Shade in a Glass\u2013Ceramic CAD\/CAM Material"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5906-8382","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanin E.","family":"Yeslam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Restorative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Advanced Technology Dental Research Laboratory, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2941-1271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alaa","family":"Turkistani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Restorative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Advanced Technology Dental Research Laboratory, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"234","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sdentj.2023.11.010","article-title":"A comprehensive review of resin luting agents: Bonding mechanisms and polymerisation reactions","volume":"36","author":"Alshabib","year":"2024","journal-title":"Saudi Dent.
