NCT ID NCT07667946

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

Summary

This study looks at how well 3D-printed resin fillings hold up in back teeth with large cavities. Researchers will compare two different ways of shaping the tooth before placing the filling. Fifty adults will be followed for 18 months to see which design leads to fewer cracks or other problems.
