3D-printed vs milled dental crowns: an 18-month comparison
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of dental crowns (endocrowns) for back teeth—one made by 3D printing and one by milling—to see which fits better and lasts longer. If you have a molar that needs a crown after a root canal, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 40 years old.
- You have good oral hygiene (low plaque and gum scores).
- You have a molar tooth that needs a crown after a successful root canal.
- You do not have severe grinding or clenching habits.
- You are not allergic to dental materials like resin or bonding agents.
- You have no serious health conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes) that could affect dental treatment.

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.
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 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 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 trial tests three different types of crowns for children's back baby teeth to see which one works best. The crowns are either custom-made from zirconia, 3D-printed resin, or ready-made zirconia. It may help if your child needs a crown on a lower or upper second baby molar.
This study compares two types of dental crowns (caps) placed on children's primary molars (back baby teeth) after a procedure called pulpotomy, which removes infected tissue from inside the tooth. Researchers want to see which crown material works better at protecting the tooth and keeping it healthy.
