Comparing ways to restore a back tooth after root canal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests three different methods (digital, conventional, and biomimetic) to restore a back tooth that had a root canal and needs a crown-like covering. It aims to find which approach works best over one year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a root canal on a back tooth (molar) and a lot of the tooth structure is missing, including both top edges.
- You are 15 years or older.
- Your mouth is generally healthy—no active cavities or gum disease.
- You can come back for check-ups over the next year.
- You do not have severe teeth grinding (bruxism), deep cracks, or gum pockets deeper than 3mm.

This study compares two ways to restore (cap) back teeth that have had root-canal treatment and lost a cusp or more. Researchers want to see which method—computer-milled or 3D-printed crowns—works better and lasts longer.
This study compares two ways to rebuild a molar tooth that has had a root canal: one uses a 3D printer (additive), the other uses traditional milling (subtractive). The goal is to see which method lasts longer and works better over 2 years.
This study compares two types of ceramic materials for making crowns on back teeth that have had root canals. It aims to see which material works better for long-lasting dental restorations.
This trial compares two types of dental crowns (endocrowns) for back teeth—one made by 3D printing and one by milling—to see which fits better and lasts longer. If you have a molar that needs a crown after a root canal, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new type of dental crown made of a strong plastic called PEEK for a back molar that has had a root canal. It looks at how well the crown fits, and may be a good option if your tooth is still mostly intact.
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.
