Dental crown showdown: casting vs. CAD/CAM milling
NCT ID NCT07459842
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well porcelain-covered titanium dental crowns hold up when made by two different methods: traditional casting and modern computer-aided milling. 27 people received these crowns and were checked at several points over 18 months for appearance, function, and gum health. The goal was to see which technique works better in the short term.
