This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study compares two types of dental restorations for molars that have had root canal treatment: one made by milling from a solid block and the other by 3D printing. About 142 adults will receive either a milled or 3D-printed partial crown and be followed for three years to see which holds up better. The goal is to find out if the newer 3D-printed option works as well as the established milled version.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Milled composite resin onlay/overlay or 3D-printed composite resin onlay/overlay
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that 3D-printed restorations work as well as milled ones, offering a more affordable or faster option for dental crowns.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 142 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both types of restoration can chip or fail over time.
