3D printing methods for molar crowns
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of making a dental crown for a back tooth that had a root canal. It aims to see which method lasts longer and works better over two years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 45 years old.
- You have a back tooth (molar) that has had a root canal and is in good condition.
- At least three sides of the tooth above the gum line are healthy and strong enough for a crown.
- You have at least 20 teeth that bite together.
- You have good oral hygiene and are willing to come to follow-up visits for 24 months.

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 study tests three different methods (digital, conventional, and biomimetic) to restore a back tooth that had a root canal and needs a crown-like covering. It aims to find which approach works best over one year.
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 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 high-tech ways to make a partial crown (onlay) for a damaged back tooth: one from a 3D printer and one from a computer-guided milling machine. Both methods aim to restore your tooth's shape and function, helping you chew comfortably and prevent further damage.
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.
