Minimum intervention oral care - incentivising preventive management of high-needs/high caries-risk patients using phased courses of treatment.
Article in British dental journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
This paper demonstrates how person-focused, prevention-based, risk/needs-related, team-delivered, minimum intervention oral care (MIOC) principles and approaches can be integrated into the dental profession for the delivery of environmentally sustainable, optimal care to high-needs and high caries-risk/susceptibility patients. It highlights the potential for NHS remuneration for prevention-based, phased, personalised care pathways/plans (PCPs) within a reformed NHS dental contract system. It emphasises the importance of comprehensive and longitudinal patient risk/susceptibility assessments, prevention and stabilisation of the oral environment before considering more complex, definitive restorative work. This paper forms the first of several components of a suite of educational/information materials needed to instil confidence and implementation protocols within primary care clinical oral health care teams delivering MIOC through phased PCPs, especially when managing patients with high needs and/or disease susceptibility.
