Comparing 3D-printed vs. bulk-filled fillings for large cavities in back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 22 and 45 years old.
- You have a large cavity in a back molar that involves the side surface.
- The cavity is deep but not infected (no nerve pain or X-ray signs).
- You have good oral hygiene and overall health.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not grind your teeth.
- You can attend follow-up visits and have no allergies to dental materials.

This study tests a new self-hardening filling material against a light-activated bioactive filling for cavities between back teeth. The goal is to see which material works better and lasts longer.
This study compares a new type of tooth-colored filling material (self-cure bulk-fill) to a standard one. It's for people who have a first-time cavity on the side of a back tooth. The goal is to see which filling lasts better and feels more comfortable.
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 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.
This study tests how long different types of dental fillings made with 3D printing last in back teeth (premolars and molars). It may help you by comparing filling types in a careful, structured way.
This study evaluates a newer type of tooth filling material (bulk-fill composite) used for cavities in back teeth. Researchers want to see how well it works and lasts compared to standard approaches.
