Overlay Restorations for Root-Treated Back Teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 20 and 60 years old
- Overall good health with no chronic diseases
- Have had successful root canal treatment on a molar (back tooth)
- Molar has a large access cavity with one or two missing walls
- No gum disease, infection at the tooth root, or major decay
- Willing to attend follow-up visits and sign consent form

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 cement (a bioactive kind and a conventional self-adhesive kind) for placing crowns or large fillings on back molars that have had root canals. The goal is to see which cement works better to keep the restoration secure and the tooth healthy.
This trial tests a new type of dental crown made of a strong plastic called PEEK for a back molar that has had a root canal. It looks at how well the crown fits, and may be a good option if your tooth is still mostly intact.
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 a special printed material used for tooth overlays (caps that cover the entire top of a back tooth). If you need a full overlay on a molar that has had root canal treatment, this study may be a good fit.
This study compares two types of ceramic materials for making crowns on back teeth that have had root canals. It aims to see which material works better for long-lasting dental restorations.
