Popis: This study aims to characterize the effect of shading techniques on the fatigue behavior of a 4YSZ ceramic (4 mol% yttrium stabilized zirconia) adhesively bonded to a dentin analogue (fiber-reinforced epoxy resin). 4YSZ ceramic discs (IPS e.max ZirCAD, Ø = 10 mm and 1 mm of thickness) were allocated according to the factor 'shading technique' into 4 groups: Brush- unshaded ceramic disc (IPS e.max ZirCAD BL) pigmented at the pre-sintered stage with pigment solution applied manually using a round liner brush; Immersion- unshaded ceramic disc pigmented through immersion in the solution for 1 s on only one side of the ceramic disc; Manufacturer- specimens already shaded by the manufacturer (IPS e.max ZirCAD MT A2 - Manufacturer group); Control- a control condition with absence of pigment (i.e. non-pigmented specimens). The specimens were sintered and a spectrophotometer (SP60, EX- Rite) was used to ensure that the same perceived color (i.e. pigment saturation) was achieved in the different shading strategies (Manufacturer, Brush or Immersion groups). To do so, the color differences (ΔE
