Comparing two onlay materials for repairing back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 84 years old.
- Your gums must be healthy (no gum disease, no deep pockets).
- You should not grind or clench your teeth, or chew on hard objects.
- You need a damaged back tooth (premolar or molar) that can be restored with a partial crown (onlay), not a full crown.
- That tooth must be natural (no root canal, no previous crown or onlay).
- You must be able to attend follow-up visits 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 trial compares two types of partial crowns (overlays) for back teeth: one made with a 3D printer and one milled from a strong ceramic material. If you need an overlay on a molar, this study may help determine which method gives a better fit and durability.
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 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 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.
