The Use of CAD/CAM Technology in Mandibular Canine Disimpaction: A Case Report.
Article in Dentistry journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 case report of an 11-year-old subject shows the digital workflow for the management of an impacted mandibular canine using Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology along with Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs). The miniscrew insertion site was planned using software, and a surgical guide was digitally designed and 3D printed. Orthodontic traction was performed using a 3D-designed and -printed device. In a single sitting, the miniscrew was inserted and the disimpaction device was also delivered. The primary objective of recovery and the repositioning of the impacted mandibular canine in the axis with its eruptive path was achieved. The space available and the subject's early stage of mixed dentition was considered favourable to a spontaneous eruption. This case report shows how CAD/CAM digital technology, combined with 3D printing, enables the creation of a surgical guide to position the miniscrew and the customized devices used for mandibular canine disimpaction. CAD/CAM surgical guides can help clinicians to position TADs with more accuracy and predictability, ensuring high quality bone support offering primary stability. Although orthodontic traction is the most complex therapeutic choice to implement, with the aid of CAD/CAM technology it is possible to proceed with accurate and minimally invasive orthodontic traction in order to recover a mandibular canine.
