Assessment of craniofacial growth in individuals with ectodermal dysplasia after complete denture rehabilitation: A preliminary study.

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
Aim: The main purpose was to evaluate the effect of complete denture rehabilitation on the jaw growth pattern in individuals with ectodermal dysplasia from an early age to maturity. Settings and Design: This was a prospective in vivo study performed in the Department of Prosthodontics, King George Medical University, Lucknow, India. Materials and Methods: Rehabilitation with three sets of conventional complete dentures was completed in an ectodermal dysplasia case at the age of 5, 10, and 17 years. Cephalometric and diagnostic cast analyses were the methods performed to evaluate jaw growth patterns. Linear and angular measurements obtained after denture rehabilitation were averaged and compared with mean standard values of nearly corresponding ages, as given by Sakamoto and Bolton. Conversely, alveolar ridge arch width and length were evaluated for their dimensional changes during the same age intervals. Statistical Analysis Used: Mann-Whitney U-test was used to check the difference between the groups. The significance of the level adopted was 5%. Results: Nasion-anterior nasal spine, anterior nasal spine-menton, anterior nasal spine-pterygomaxillary fissure, gonion-sella, and gonion-menton lengths were found to be not statistically significant than the mean standard values of nearly corresponding ages (P > 0.05). The decrease in facial plane angle, increase in Y-axis angle, and mandibular plane angle after complete denture rehabilitation were statistically significant when compared to their mean standard values (P < 0.05). Cast analysis showed more increase in the length compared to the width in both arches. Conclusion: Complete denture rehabilitation did not significantly affect the jaw growth pattern, although it improved facial esthetics and masticatory activity by establishing adequate vertical dimensions.
