Comparing two types of tooth-covering restorations
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two different ways to restore damaged teeth using computer-designed tooth coverings (onlays). You would receive one type of restoration and have it checked regularly to see how well it works and lasts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least two teeth that need restoration due to decay or after root canal treatment
- Each tooth has at least two healthy walls (sides) that are at least 2.5 mm tall and 2 mm wide
- The tooth structure extends at least 3 mm above the gum line
- Your tooth's crown-to-root ratio is at least 1:1 (roughly equal amounts of tooth above and below the gum)
- You practice good daily oral hygiene (brushing and flossing)
- You do not grind or clench your teeth, and you're not pregnant

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 to restore (cap) back teeth that have had root-canal treatment and lost a cusp or more. Researchers want to see which method—computer-milled or 3D-printed crowns—works better and lasts longer.
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.
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 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.
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.
