3D-Printed crowns could give kids a better smile after tooth treatment

NCT ID NCT07648979

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares 3D-printed resin crowns to standard stainless steel crowns for children's back teeth that have had pulp treatment. Twenty-six children aged 4 to 8 will receive one type of crown and be followed for a year. The goal is to see if the 3D-printed crowns lead to healthier gums, less plaque, and higher satisfaction for kids and parents.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

3D-printed resin-based crown (device)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a more aesthetic and gum-friendly option for restoring children's teeth after pulp treatment, potentially improving comfort and satisfaction.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 26 children, so results may not apply broadly. 3D-printed crowns might not be as durable or retentive as stainless steel crowns.
