Digital dentistry put to the test: 5-Year study on CAD/CAM restorations
NCT ID NCT07276269
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 80 adults who received dental restorations made with CAD/CAM digital technology to treat tooth wear. Researchers will check how well these restorations hold up over 5 years, looking at factors like breakage, wear, and patient satisfaction. The goal is to see if the fully digital approach is a reliable long-term solution.
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 digital restoration (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that digital dental restorations are a reliable, long-lasting option for treating tooth wear.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no control group, so results may not prove superiority over traditional methods. The small sample size (80 participants) limits generalizability.
