Micro-computed tomography analysis of gap and void formation in different prefabricated fiber post cementation materials and techniques.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe study was built around the objective of determining the variances in the gap and void formation around cemented prefabricated fiber posts with two different cementation materials and techniques with micro-computed tomography (μCT).
methodsStandardized acrylic resin roots (N = 40) with prefabricated fiber posts (RelyX™ Fiber Post 3D) were split into four sets (n = 10) based on many types of cementation materials and techniques. In the first group, resin cement (RelyX™ Unicem) was inserted to the canals via root canal tips. In the second group, the same cement was injected, and a microbrush was used to distribute the cement inside the canal. In the third group, dual polymerizing resin cement (MultiCore® Flow) was injected into the canals by using root canal tips. In the fourth group, the same cement was injected, and a microbrush was used to distribute the cement inside the canal. The gap and void formation in the cement and the root canals was evaluated with μCT. IBM SPSS Statistics was used to perform the statistical evaluation, then the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of normality and Kruskal-Wallis H test to compare these variables with respect to the all groups significant difference (a = 0.05).
resultsThe study outlined no difference of significance when evaluating the gap and void formation within the experimental groups (P > 0.05).
conclusionThere was a certain amount of void and gap formation inside all of the tested specimens. However, no significant variances were found.
