Will High-Tech milled temporary crowns outperform traditional ones?
NCT ID NCT07781241
First seen Aug 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing whether temporary dental crowns made with modern CAD/CAM milling machines stay more color-stable and cause less tooth sensitivity than those made the traditional way. Adults needing fixed dental work will receive one of three temporary crown materials: two milled types or a conventional resin. Researchers will measure color changes and tooth sensitivity over three months to see which approach offers the best patient experience.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CAD/CAM-milled provisional restorations (VITA CAD-Temp and Telio CAD) and conventionally fabricated bis-acryl composite resin (Protemp 4)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help dentists choose materials that keep temporary crowns looking natural and minimize tooth discomfort during treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, short-term study (45 people, 3 months), so results may not apply to all patients or longer-lasting restorations. Individual differences in oral health could also affect outcomes.
