Surface modification of zirconia or lithium disilicate-reinforced glass ceramic by laser texturing to increase the adhesion of prosthetic surfaces to resin cements: an integrative review.
Review in Clinical oral investigations, 2023. 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to perform an integrative review on laser texturing the inner surface of lithium disilicate-reinforced glass ceramic or zirconia to increase their bond strength to resin-matrix cements. MATERIALS AND
methodA bibliographic review was performed on PubMed using the following search terms: "zirconia" OR "lithium disilicate" AND "laser" AND "surface" OR "roughness" AND "bond strength" AND "luting agent" OR "resin cement." Studies published in English language until March 15, 2023, were selected regarding the purpose of this study.
resultsA total of fifty-six studies were identified althoug thirteen studies were selected. The findings revealed that zirconia surfaces were significantly modified after laser irradiation resulting in macro-scale aligned retentive regions with depth values ranging from 50 to 120 µm. Average roughness values of laser-textured zirconia by Er,Cr:YSGG laser (~ 0.83 µm) were quite similar when compared to grit-blasted zirconia surfaces (~ 0.9 µm) although roughness increased up to 2.4 µm depending on the laser type and parameters. Lithium disilicate-reinforced glass ceramics textured with Er:YAG revealed an average roughness of around 3.5 µm while surfaces textured using Nd:YAG laser revealed an average roughness of 2.69 µm; that was quite similar to the roughness values recorded for etched surfaces (2.64 µm). The shear bond strength (SBS) values of zirconia surfaces textured on Nd:YVO
conclusionsThe laser irradiation at high power increases the roughness of the inner surface of lithium disilicate-reinforced glass ceramic or zirconia leading to an enhanced bond strength to resin-matrix cements. Thus, the laser type and irradiation parameters can be adjusted to enhance the macro- and micro-scale retention of zirconia and glass ceramic surfaces to resin-matrix cements. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Alternative methods for surface modification of lithium disilicate-reinforced glass ceramic and zirconia surfaces have been assessed to provide proper morphological aspects for enhanced adhesion to resin-matrix cements. An increase in the bond strength of glass ceramics or zirconia to resin-matrix cements can improve the long-term performance of cemented prosthetic structures in the oral cavity.
