NCT ID NCT07031856
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of dental crowns: one made with a 3D printer and one made with a standard CAD-CAM machine. Twelve people with two damaged teeth will get one of each crown to see which performs better in terms of look, function, and gum health over two years. The goal is to find out if 3D-printed crowns are a good alternative to the usual method.
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 partial crown and CAD-CAM partial crown
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that 3D-printed crowns are as good or better than standard CAD-CAM crowns for dental restorations.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early trial with only 12 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study only lasts 2 years, so long-term performance is unknown.
