Comparing partial tooth restorations made with 3D printing versus CAD-CAM
Comparison of Clinical Performance of Partial Restorations Fabricated With Three-Dimensional Printer and CAD-CAM: A Split-Mouth Randomized Clinical Trial
NA · Cukurova University · NCT07031856
This project will try two types of partial tooth restorations—one 3D-printed and one made with CAD-CAM—in people who need restorations on two teeth to see which one performs better using FDI clinical criteria.

What this trial studies
This randomized split-mouth study will give each participant a CAD-CAM partial restoration on one tooth and a 3D-printed partial restoration on the other, then follow both restorations over time using FDI criteria. Participants are adults with two teeth requiring restorations, good periodontal stability, and the ability to attend follow-up visits over two years. Outcomes will compare clinical performance measures such as aesthetics, function, and biological response between the two fabrication methods. Patients with systemic conditions affecting healing, heavy bruxism, active periodontal disease, or pregnancy are excluded.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults with two teeth needing partial restorations, stable periodontal health, good oral hygiene, no serious systemic diseases, and willingness to attend follow-up for two years are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People with systemic illnesses that affect healing, severe bruxism, active gum disease or bone loss, pregnant or lactating women, or those allergic to materials used are unlikely to benefit or may be excluded.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help patients get longer-lasting, better-fitting partial restorations and inform whether 3D printing offers advantages over CAD-CAM.
How similar studies have performed: CAD-CAM restorations have an established record of good clinical performance, while 3D-printed restorations are an emerging approach with promising short-term results but limited long-term comparative data.
