A Full Mouth Rehabilitation of an Asthma-Associated Patient With Tooth Surface Loss: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tooth surface loss (TSL) is multifactorial and, when severe, it can severely impact the quality of life. Although carbonated soft drinks, with their high sugar and acid content, are a common cause of TSL, the effects do not usually mandate full-mouth rehabilitation. Nevertheless, when combined with other factors such as parafunctional habits or other drivers of high consumption, TSL can be severe. Here we present the case of a 35-year-old man who presented with mild to severe TSL throughout the oral cavity caused by erosion and attrition. Causative factors were heavy consumption of soft drinks for years to quench thirst caused by asthma, side effects of asthma-related medications, and other parafunctional habits. The eight-step approach was as minimally invasive as possible, considering the severe presentation of TSL, and offered the patient a more durable treatment option than previously provided resin-based composite restorations. Presenting this case allows us to discuss the causes of TSL and also describe full mouth rehabilitation of TSL at increased occlusal vertical dimension with indirect restorations. We also demonstrate the integration of removable and fixed options, when progressing complex restorative cases.
