3D-Printed dental fillings face off against traditional methods in new trial
NCT ID NCT07633717
First seen Jun 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares three types of dental onlays (a type of filling that covers part of a tooth) for treating cavities. It involves 36 adults who each need at least three onlays. The onlays are made using 3D printing, milling, or indirect resin composite. Researchers will check how well they perform over two years, including their fit, strength, and appearance.

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 CAD/CAM hybrid resin onlay, milled CAD/CAM hybrid ceramic onlay (Vita Enamic), indirect resin composite onlay
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that 3D-printed dental restorations are as good as or better than current milled options, potentially offering a faster and more precise way to fix decayed teeth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study is also observational in nature, so it won't prove long-term benefits or safety.
