NCT ID NCT07756333
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether 3D-printed composite veneers perform as well as or better than milled ones for restoring front teeth. Adults needing veneers for discoloration or shape issues will receive either type, and their durability, color stability, and wear will be tracked over a year. The goal is to see which method offers more reliable and longer-lasting results.
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 composite veneers (VarseoSmile TriniQ) and milled composite veneers (Cerasmart 270)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward more precise, durable, and aesthetically pleasing veneer options using advanced manufacturing.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 14 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Veneers may chip, stain, or wear over time.
