Metallic crown-induced occlusal trauma as a protocol to evaluate inflammatory response in temporomandibular joint and periodontal tissues of rats.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2019. 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
objectivesThe goal of this study is to propose a standard protocol of experimental occlusal trauma to evaluate the inflammatory hyperalgesia induced by metallic crowns on orofacial tissues of rats. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty animals were randomly divided into six groups (n = 5 per group). Detailed methodology on the manufacturing of metallic crowns is described. The inflammatory hyperalgesia induced by occlusal interference was evaluated by intra-articular injection of a low dose of 0.5% formalin (30 μl) or vehicle (saline) into temporomandibular joint, 21 or 28 days after metallic crown cementation. Posteriorly, pro-inflammatory cytokines were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to assess the effect of occlusal interference on periodontium.
resultsThe cementation of metallic crowns with dental anatomy on the lower molar of rats does not show signs of stress and lack of feeding. Metallic crown-induced occlusal trauma results in a temporomandibular joint inflammatory hyperalgesia (P < 0.05: ANOVA, Tukey's test). Otherwise, it was observed that occlusal trauma results in the increase of protein level of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1beta in the gingival tissues (P < 0.05).
conclusionThis study demonstrates in detail a methodology of occlusal trauma resulting from the cementation of metallic crowns in the lower molars of rats, mimicking occlusal interferences commonly evaluated in the dental clinic. This methodology makes new studies to better understand the mechanisms involved in the occlusal trauma of orofacial tissues possible. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The standardization of an experimental occlusal interference model will allow us to understand the deleterious effect and mechanisms that affect the orofacial tissues.
