Comparing two types of dental fillings for cusp loss
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a natural tooth (either alive or with the nerve removed) that has lost a cusp (the pointed chewing part).
- If the tooth has had a root canal, it must not have any active infection or lesions (like abscesses).
- The tooth must not be causing symptoms such as spontaneous pain, lingering sensitivity, or pain when biting.

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 types of tooth-colored fillings for large cavities in back teeth. One is a new 3D-printed filling, and the other is a directly placed composite; the goal is to see which performs better over time.
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.
This study looks at how well partial crowns fit and feel after they are placed, and how much adjustment they need. It may help understand if this type of crown works well for damaged teeth.
This study compares two different ways to restore damaged teeth using computer-designed tooth coverings (onlays). You would receive one type of restoration and have it checked regularly to see how well it works and lasts.
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.
