Comparing two types of overlays for damaged back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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 ways of preparing a back tooth (molar) for an overlay filling after a root canal. It aims to find which method works best for restoring strength and function to the tooth. If you need an overlay on a treated molar, this trial could help improve your dental care.
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 of making a special type of crown (called an endocrown) for back teeth that have had root canals. One method uses 3D printing, the other uses milling from a solid block. The goal is to see which crown fits better and lasts longer over 18 months.
This study compares two types of tooth-colored ceramic crowns for back teeth that have had root canal treatment. The goal is to see which material works better and lasts longer, helping you keep your natural tooth strong.
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 ways to restore teeth that have had root canals, focusing on back teeth. It aims to see which approach is more conservative and effective, which may help preserve more of your natural tooth and improve long-term outcomes.
