Reviewer 1 Report
I think the study that measured discoloration of dental prostheses in situations where there are still many smokers is meaningful. However, it is necessary to consider the following for the completeness of the manuscript.
Introduction
Ln 57: Please delete the “T” in “T despite conclusive evidence ~~”.
Ln 78-79: There is an error in the line break.
Materials and Methods
Ln 118: The principle of using abbreviations is not being followed.
Ex) the mean color changes (∆E*) => ∆E*
Ln 170: [28,29,30,31] => [28-31]
Ln 177-179: Figure 4. flow chart~~ => Figure 4. Flow chart~~
- Please add the number of specimens used in Zirconia, Vita Suprinity, and VITABLOCS TriLuxe.
Results
- Please describe the analysis method from which the p-value was derived from all tables below the table.
Ln 209-210: In Table 1, please add a separate column for descriptive statistics for type of ceramic. And do the figures for Zirconia, Vita Suprinity, and VITABLOCS TriLuxe shown in the middle mean correlation coefficients? Below the table we need a specific explanation of this.
- Please change in the table to <p-value*> and write <* by one-way ANOVA test> under the table.
Ln 211: Please delete the Sig (2-tailed) indicated in Tables 2 and 3.
Ln 213: In Table 4, “Sig.” Please change to “P-value”.
Ln 227: Figure 5 is poorly readable. Adjust the resolution and picture size to improve readability.
Conclusions
Ln 369-378: The conclusion repeats the results. I hope to present it as a general conclusions.

Reviewer 2 Report
The paper need extensive editing. Figures and table editorial format should adopted. More extensive literature on the effect of staining substances on dental restorative materials should be supplied.
Samples surface analysis is not provided (Scanning electron microscopy and 3D optical profilometry are suggested). Without a surface characterisation the comparison of zirconia, zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate, and feld-spathic CAD/CAM restorative materials is not sufficiently justified.
