NCT ID NCT07708077

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This trial tests whether 3D-printed resin composite endocrowns work as well as milled ones for restoring molars after root canal treatment. About 52 adults aged 20 to 40 with good oral hygiene will receive either a 3D-printed or milled crown. Researchers will compare how well the crowns fit and perform over 18 months using standard dental criteria.

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 composite endocrowns and milled resin composite endocrowns
What this could lead to
If 3D-printed crowns perform as well as milled ones, it could offer a faster, more customizable option for restoring teeth after root canals.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. 3D-printed crowns might not hold up as well over time.
