Assessing abrasion of orthodontic surface sealants using a modified ophthalmic optical coherence tomography device.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveOptical coherence tomography (OCT) is a clinical standard in ophthalmology. Currently, its application in dentistry is gaining increasing interest. In this study, we tested the possibility to use a modified commercially available spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) to assess the layer thickness of orthodontic surface sealants. MATERIALS AND
methodsReference samples of surface sealants for calibration and repeatability testing were measured using a micrometer screw. SD-OCT measurements were compared with micro-CT and light microscopic analyses. After validating the calibration of the SD-OCT, surface sealant layer thickness after aging (thermo cycling) and simulation of professional tooth cleaning (PTC) was assessed using the SD-OCT on 45 extracted teeth assigned to three test groups (n = 15 each): Light Bond™ Sealant, Pro Seal®, and Opal® Seal.
resultsSD-OCT showed excellent repeatability and accuracy for measurements of surface sealant layer thickness. Compared with micro-CT, SD-OCT showed better accordance with the reference measurements. The analysis of surface sealants after thermo cycling and PTC revealed poor resistance of Light Bond after only aging and demonstrated substantial wear of all sealants after aging and PTC.
conclusionImaging using commercially available ophthalmic SD-OCT might represent a suitable non-invasive methodology for longitudinal assessments of surface sealant layer thickness in vitro and in vivo. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: SD-OCT might be a suitable non-invasive method for longitudinal assessments of surface sealant durability in clinical trials.
