Digital onlay fillings made two ways for back teeth
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two digital manufacturing methods to make ceramic onlay fillings for back (molar) teeth—one method that removes material and one that builds it up. It may help you learn which approach makes more comfortable, effective onlays for teeth needing repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a problem in a back tooth (a cavity, a defective old filling, or a failing composite filling) that can be treated with a ceramic onlay
- Your tooth must have an opposing (antagonist) tooth that can meet when you bite
- You’re an adult between ages 18 and 50, and able to give consent for the procedures
- You don’t have braces or any orthodontic appliances
- Your bite and tooth shape are normal—no major bite misalignment (malocclusion) and no unusual tooth malformation

This trial tests a tooth-colored filling (onlay) for back teeth with cavities that go below the gum line. It is designed for people whose tooth is weakened but still healthy enough to avoid more serious treatments like root canals.
This study compares two ways to make a strong cap (overlay) for back teeth that had root canals and are badly damaged. It tests a 3D-printed ceramic filling against one made by a computer and milling machine, and follows up for 18 months to see which works better.
This study compares two types of tooth-colored onlays (one made of layered resin and one of a ceramic-like material) for fixing cavities in back molars. If you need an onlay, this trial could help your dentist choose the best option for you.
This trial compares two types of partial crowns (overlays) for back teeth: one made with a 3D printer and one milled from a strong ceramic material. If you need an overlay on a molar, this study may help determine which method gives a better fit and durability.
This study compares two ways of filling cavities in the back teeth: a new 3D-printed filling versus a traditional one. It aims to see which lasts longer and works better.
This trial tests whether a newer “bulk-fill” way of placing tooth filling works as well as the usual step-by-step method for restoring back teeth with cavities. It aims to see which approach best meets dental quality standards over one year.
