Comparing two types of onlay restorations for back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 84 years old.
- You are generally healthy or have a stable medical condition (no uncontrolled diabetes or weak immune system).
- You have a back tooth (premolar or molar) that is still alive (no root canal) and has a moderate-sized cavity that can be fixed with an onlay.
- Your gums are healthy — no deep pockets, bleeding, or loose teeth.
- You do not grind or clench your teeth, and you are willing to come back for checkups over 18 months.

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.
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 tooth-colored overlays (like advanced fillings) for molars that have had root canals and are badly broken down. The goal is to see which type—3D-printed or computer-designed—works better over 18 months.
This trial compares two ways of making a type of dental filling called an onlay for back teeth with cavities. One method uses 3D printing and the other uses a computer-guided milling machine. The goal is to see which one works better.
This study compares how well two different 3D-printed resin fillings (called 'overlays') hold up over 18 months on back teeth that have large cavities or broken fillings. It involves up to 3 visits and aims to find the best way to prepare the tooth for the filling.
