Could 3D-Printed teeth and hyaluronic acid tame gum disease?
NCT ID NCT07625839
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding hyaluronic acid to temporary dental crowns (made by 3D printing or milling) can improve gum health and surface smoothness. Sixty adults with moderate gum disease will receive one of the two crown types, and their gum attachment, bleeding, and plaque will be measured. The goal is to find a better way to manage gum disease during dental restorations.
