3D-printed versus milled crowns for root-canaled back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 40 years old.
- The back tooth needing this crown has already had a successful root canal.
- Your tooth is strong enough (at least 2mm of healthy tooth above the gum line).
- You have good oral hygiene and can come back for checks over 18 months.
- You do not grind or clench your teeth severely.
- The tooth has not had a crown or bridge before.

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.
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 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 trial compares two types of artificial tooth restorations (made from resin or zirconia) placed on dental implants that have already fused with your jawbone. The study tests how well these 3D-printed restorations work and last over time.
This trial compares two types of partial crowns (overlays) for back teeth: one made with a 3D printer and one milled from a strong ceramic material. If you need an overlay on a molar, this study may help determine which method gives a better fit and durability.
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.
