First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares three types of all-ceramic crowns for back teeth: glass-ceramic, high-translucent zirconia, and zirconia with a thin porcelain layer. Researchers want to see which material looks best and lasts longest. 90 adults who need a crown on a premolar or molar are taking part. The crowns will be checked for fit, surface quality, and patient satisfaction.
