Digital technologies have become pervasive across various stages of the dental workflow [1] owing to improvements in computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Currently, CAD/CAM technology is used to manufacture several restorations with excellent esthetic properties. The advantages of the CAD/CAM generation technique include access to industrially prefabricated and almost-defect-free dental restorations, improvement in precision and planning, higher reproducibility, automatic and high-speed data processing, and simpler and efficient data stor-age [1]. The current CAD/CAM techniques encompass both subtractive milling and additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as three-dimensional (3D) printing [2]. Compared to subtractive milling, additive manufacturing offers several benefits such as reduced material waste and the capability to produce complex shapes including undercuts or inaccessible areas that cannot be milled [3]. Recently, new hybrid materials have been developed for CAD/CAM systems that combine the advantages of ceramics in terms of esthetic characteristics, durability, and color stability with the advantages of resin composites, such as high flexural strength, low abrasiveness, and intraoral reparability. Currently, most hybrid ceramics used as restorative materials can be milled using subtractive milling [4]. Two examples of the hybrid materials are Cerasmart ® (CE) and Vita Enamic ® (VE). Cerasmart ® is a high-density resin composite material containing 71% filler particles (by weight), referred to as a "flexible nanoceramic" [5]. VE or polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) materials consist of an 86% (by weight) porous feldspathic ceramic matrix infiltrated with a copolymer (urethane dimethacrylate and J Prosthodont Res. 2023; **(**):
