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.

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 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 trial compares two types of tooth-colored partial crowns (onlays) for repairing damaged back teeth. It aims to see which material and method works better over 18 months.
This study compares two different ways of making partial dental restorations (fillings or onlays) for teeth that have lost a cusp. They will look at how well each type holds up and how smooth the surface stays, using a split-mouth design where you receive both types on different teeth.
This study compares two modern ways to make partial fillings (onlays/overlays) for back teeth: one using 3D printing and the other using CAD/CAM milling. Both aim to preserve healthy tooth structure and provide a durable, natural-looking restoration.
This study compares two high-tech ways to make a partial crown (onlay) for a damaged back tooth: one from a 3D printer and one from a computer-guided milling machine. Both methods aim to restore your tooth's shape and function, helping you chew comfortably and prevent further damage.
