Evaluation of the clinical performance, shade matching and patient satisfaction of different resin composite layering techniques using 3D printed cast
NCT ID NCT07813949
First seen Sep 10, 2026 ยท Last updated Sep 10, 2026
Summary
The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare different resin composite layering techniques (monochromatic, complex multichromatic, and single-shaded structurally-colored composite) using 3D printed casts for the restoration of Class IV anterior tooth fractures. The study will evaluate shade matching, overall clinical performance, and patient satisfaction over a 12-month follow-up period.
