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.
