3D printed vs. CAD-CAM dental restorations comparison
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two modern ways to make partial dental restorations (like crowns or bridges): one using a 3D printer and the other using a computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) system. It aims to see which method works better for people who need a couple of teeth fixed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have healthy gums and good oral hygiene habits.
- You do not have a serious health condition like diabetes or autoimmune disease.

This trial compares two types of tooth-colored overlays (like advanced fillings) for molars that have had root canals and are badly broken down. The goal is to see which type—3D-printed or computer-designed—works better over 18 months.
This study tests how long different types of dental fillings made with 3D printing last in back teeth (premolars and molars). It may help you by comparing filling types in a careful, structured way.
This study compares two types of dental crowns (caps) placed on children's primary molars (back baby teeth) after a procedure called pulpotomy, which removes infected tissue from inside the tooth. Researchers want to see which crown material works better at protecting the tooth and keeping it healthy.
This trial compares two types of dental restorations (3D-printed and milled) to see which one wears better and stays smoother over time. It may help people who have lost part of a tooth's chewing surface.
This trial tests two different types of onlay restorations (like custom fillings) for back teeth that have moderate damage but are still healthy. It is designed for adults with good oral hygiene and no active gum disease or grinding habits.
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.
