Objective To study the color reappearance effect of metal -ceram restoration and foundry -ceram restoration using Crystaleye spectrophotometer. Methods 58 metal-ceram restorations and 58 foundry-ceram restorations according to the result of the Crystaleye spectrophotometer were made respectively. The △E between restorations and natural teeth as referenced were analyzed. And satisfaction of dentists and patients were evaluated. Results The △E between metal-ceram restorations and natural teeth was 7.13±0.74. The △E between foundry-ceram restorations and teeth was 1.47±0.84. There were statistical differences between the △E（P
