3D-printed vs. metal crowns for children's back baby teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of crowns for back baby teeth (molars) with deep cavities: a new 3D-printed ceramic-like crown versus a standard metal crown. The goal is to see which works better and lasts longer for children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 9 years old.
- They need to have at least two back baby teeth (molars) with deep cavities that need a crown.
- These teeth must be expected to last at least 12 more months before falling out naturally.
- Your child should be in general good health, with no conditions that affect their teeth or gums.
- No allergies to nickel, chromium, or numbing medication (local anesthetic).
- Your child must be willing to cooperate and attend follow-up appointments.

This clinical trial compares two methods for fixing cavities in baby molars: a traditional metal crown and a simpler technique that seals the crown over the cavity without removing much tooth. It aims to find which method works better in children.
This trial compares two ways to fix cavities in baby molars: the SMART Hall technique (a newer, less invasive method) and the traditional stainless steel crown. The goal is to see which works better for children aged 3 to 9.
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 tests whether stainless steel or zirconia crowns work better for fixing cavities in children's back baby teeth after nerve treatment. It can help parents choose the best option for their child.
This trial tests three different types of crowns for children's back baby teeth to see which one works best. The crowns are either custom-made from zirconia, 3D-printed resin, or ready-made zirconia. It may help if your child needs a crown on a lower or upper second baby molar.
This study compares two types of dental crowns (stainless steel vs. resin) for baby molars to see which works better. If your child needs full mouth dental work under general anesthesia, they may be able to join.
