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.

Abstract

introductionTongue spurs have been successfully used for the early treatment of anterior open bite (AOB). However, according to our knowledge, their effectiveness in the treatment of adults has not been evaluated.

objectivesThe purpose of the study was to assess the dentoalveolar changes observed after the use of customized bonded shark-tooth-like spurs (JAWs) in adults with AOB.

methodsTwenty-three adults (22.1±4.4 years) with AOB were selected for the treatment. JAWs made from compomer cement were bonded on the lingual surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth to correct tongue-thrusting. Lateral cephalograms and 3D digital models were obtained to evaluate dentoalveolar features observed before and at three time points after JAWs use. Paired t-test and repeated measure ANOVA tests were used to compare dentoalveolar changes, and Pearson's correlation was used to analyze the association of dentoalveolar changes and overbite changes. The significance level was set at p<0.05.

resultsSignificant 3D dentoalveolar changes were observed after the three months of treatment with JAWs. Improvement of overbite (1.0±0.6 mm) and overjet (0.2±0.3 mm), combined with a retroclination of maxillary (3.0±3.0°) and mandibular (2.2±2.7°) incisors, were observed (p<0.05). Moreover, a significant decrease in anterior dental arch width in both maxillary and mandibular arches (0.4±0.4 mm; 0.3±0.3 mm, respectively), and an increase of posterior maxillary (0.1±0.2 mm) dental arch width were observed (p<0.05). These significant changes occurred in the first month after the JAWs use. A significant correlation was found between the initial arch length discrepancy and the amount of overbite correction (r=0.456, p<0.05).

conclusionsDentoalveolar changes occurred after the first-month therapy with JAWs. The retroclination of the anterior teeth combined with the expansion of posterior teeth suggests a posterosuperior change in the tongue position. These changes were beneficial for the treatment of AOB in adult patients.
