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 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 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 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 tests two types of dental overlays (ceramic and composite) for molars that have had root canal treatment. It aims to see which one wears better and affects natural teeth less.
This study tests different ways to restore back teeth (molars) that have had root canal treatment using custom-fitted caps called overlays. The goal is to find which design works best to protect these teeth long-term.
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.
