ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring different ways to restore teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, specifically focusing on a new type of restoration called Endocrowns and a technique known as biomimetic dentistry. Endocrowns are designed to provide better support and durability for teeth that have lost a lot of their structure, which is especially useful for younger patients. This approach is less invasive and can often be completed in just one visit using advanced technology. Biomimetic dentistry mimics the natural function of teeth and uses modern materials to strengthen the tooth while preserving more of its original structure, making it a promising option for long-lasting restorations.

To participate in this trial, individuals should have a molar tooth that has been treated with a root canal and requires additional support due to significant loss of tooth structure. Eligible participants must be at least 15 years old, have no active dental diseases, and be available for follow-up visits over the next year. However, those with poor oral hygiene, extensive tooth fractures, or certain dental conditions will not qualify for the study. Participants can expect to receive advanced treatment options that aim to improve the health and longevity of their restored teeth while contributing to important research in dental care.
