ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different ways to make partial tooth restorations, which are treatments used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. The researchers want to see if there is any difference in how well these restorations work when made by a 3D printer compared to a computer-aided design and manufacturing system (called CAD-CAM). Each participant will receive both types of restorations—one on one tooth and the other on a different tooth—so the study can directly compare the two methods.

People who might join this study are adults with good overall health and healthy gums who need repairs on at least two teeth. They should have stable oral health habits and be able to follow the treatment plan and attend check-ups for two years. People with serious health conditions like diabetes, gum disease, or those who grind their teeth a lot won’t be eligible. Pregnant or breastfeeding women also cannot participate. If you join, you can expect to receive two different types of dental restorations and have regular follow-ups so the researchers can see how well each restoration lasts over time. This study aims to help dentists choose the best technology for tooth repairs in the future.
