Ceramic crown performance with different surface treatments
This trial compares two methods of preparing ceramic crowns before placing them on back teeth. The goal is to see if a new gas-based treatment makes crowns stronger and last longer than the standard acid etch.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be getting a ceramic crown on a premolar or molar (single-rooted back tooth)
- Your tooth needs to be healthy, without pain, inflammation, or untreated gum disease
- You must have good oral hygiene routines at home
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding, and cannot have allergies to latex or dental materials
- You must be willing to sign a consent form for the study

This study tests how well a new type of ceramic crown (one-piece, tooth-colored) works for teeth in the front of your mouth. It aims to see if these crowns are a good option for people who need a strong, natural-looking replacement.
This study tests whether the way a special dental cement is hardened (using light or a chemical set) affects how well full-coverage metal-and-porcelain crowns stay attached. If you're getting a crown, this trial compares two curing methods to see which gives a stronger, longer-lasting bond.
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 study compares two types of ceramic materials used to make dental crowns, focusing on how well they match the color of your natural teeth and how satisfied you are with the result. If you need a crown to cover a damaged or misshapen tooth, this trial may help determine which material offers the best appearance.
This trial compares two types of self-adhesive resin cements for bonding ceramic occlusal veneers. It aims to see which cement works better for restoring back teeth while keeping your natural tooth structure.
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.
