Biomechanical Analysis of a Custom-Made Mouthguard Reinforced With Different Elastic Modulus Laminates During a Simulated Maxillofacial Trauma.
Article in Craniomaxillofacial trauma & reconstruction, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsThere is a lack of data regarding the influence of different laminates for mouthguard reinforcement in the mechanical response during an impact in the orofacial region. The aim of this study was to verify the influence of the laminate framework on the stresses and strains of the anterior teeth and displacement of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) custom-made mouthguards during a simulated impact. The null hypotheses was that the different laminates reinforcement would present the similar effect in maxillary structures, regardless the elastic modulus.
methodsA finite element model of human maxillary central incisors with an antagonist contact was used. A linear quasi-static analysis was used to simulate the force exerted during an impact. A total of 5 different layers were simulated inside the mouthguard at the labial portion according to the Elastic Modulus 1 MPa (Extremely flexible), 9 GPa (Low modulus reinforcement), 18 GPa (Without reinforcement), 50 GPa (Flexible alloy), 100 GPa (Titanium alloy) and 200 GPa (Hard material). The results were evaluated by means of Maximum Principal Stress (in the tooth and bone), Microstrain (periodontal ligament) and Displacement (mouthguard) criteria.
resultsThe elastic modulus of the material inside the MG influenced the stress distribution on the enamel buccal face. However, it did not affect the bone tissue stress, periodontal ligament strain or root dentin tissue stress. Conclusion: The use of reinforcement inside the custom-made mouthguard can modify the stress generated in the enamel buccal surface without improvement to the root dentin, periodontal ligament or bone tissue.
