What this Trial Is About
This clinical trial focuses on adults aged 18 to 65 who have dental hard tissue loss or require replacement restorations on two teeth. It aims to compare two types of partial dental restorations—those made with CAD-CAM technology and those produced using a 3D printer—based on criteria set by the FDI World Dental Federation. Researchers want to determine if there is a difference in clinical performance between these two dental restoration methods. Participants will be randomly assigned in a split-mouth design to receive a CAD-CAM partial restoration on one tooth and a 3D printed partial restoration on the other tooth. This allows direct comparison within the same individual. The study includes two groups: one with restorations made by 3D printing and the other with CAD-CAM restorations. The trial involves follow-up evaluations to monitor outcomes over time. During the study, dental restorations will be assessed at baseline, six months, and twelve months using FDI criteria to evaluate their clinical performance. Participants must maintain good oral hygiene and attend follow-up visits for up to two years. The study also monitors participants for any adverse effects and aims to gather detailed information on the durability and quality of each restoration type.
