1 Introduction Rising esthetic demands have increased the use of thin ceramic restorations, particularly ceramic laminate veneers, as minimally invasive solutions for managing discolorations, diastemas, surface defects, fractures, and abrasions. However, their reduced thickness makes optical performance highly dependent on the ceramic microstructure [1-7].
