Study of 3D-printed vs. milled dental crowns
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tooth that has lost a cusp (the pointed part of the chewing surface).
- The tooth is either alive (vital) or has had a root canal (devital).
- You do not have a root canal treated tooth with an infection or lesion at the root tip.
- You do not have a vital tooth that is causing pain or other symptoms.

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 tests how well 3D-printed hybrid ceramic crowns work for people who already have a single implant and need a crown. It aims to see if these crowns look good and function well.
This trial tests two ways of making a small dental device that holds space for adult teeth when baby molars are lost early. It compares a 3D-printed version with a conventionally made one, to see which works better and is more comfortable.
This trial tests two different types of tooth-colored fillings for large cavities in adult back teeth: one made with 3D printing technology and one placed in a single layer. The goal is to see which holds up 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 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.
