Outcomes of Coronectomy and Total Odontectomy of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars.
Article in International dental journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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 aim of this research was to evaluate the surgical complications and neurosensory deficits after coronectomy and the complete removal of mandibular third molars.
methodsThe study sample included patients requiring surgical removal of mandibular third molars. A coronectomy was conducted on 220 teeth showing signs of close proximity to the inferior alveolar canal. A complete extraction was performed on 218 teeth with no risk signs. The patients were evaluated at 1 week and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery for pain, swelling, neurologic deficit, dry socket, postoperative bleeding, infection, root migration, and eruption.
resultsNo significant difference was noted in pain and swelling; however, bleeding and dry socket were significantly higher in the odontectomy group (P = .017). The inferior alveolar nerve deficit was higher in the odontectomy group (3.7%) than the coronectomy group (0.5%) (P = .017). The percentage and distance of root migration of coronectomised teeth at 3, 6, and 12 months were 60% (2.37 ± 0.96 mm), 66% (3.35 ± 0.86 mm), and 74% (3.85 ± 0.93 mm), respectively.
conclusionsCoronectomy is a safe procedure and should be performed when the roots are closely associated with the mandibular canal. Although root migration is common, the likelihood of root exposure is low and roots rarely need removal.
