Study summary

This study aims to evaluate and compare the impact of khat chewing on the color stability and patient satisfaction of multilayer zirconia and feldspathic veneered zirconia restorations. A split-mouth clinical trial design is utilized to assess color changes using a spectrophotometer and patient satisfaction via a structured questionnaire over the follow-up period.
