Occlusal parameters and wear of artificial teeth in complete dentures with lingualized versus bilateral balanced occlusion: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in BMC oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the occlusal contact area (OCA), occlusal contact number (OCN), bite force, and artificial tooth wear in complete dentures with lingualized and bilateral balanced occlusion.
methodsEdentulous participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were divided into the three groups as follows: group I, dentures with lingualized occlusion using interpenetrating polymer network artificial teeth; group II, dentures with lingualized occlusion using double cross-linked artificial teeth; and group III, dentures with bilateral balanced occlusion using anatomical micro-hybrid resin teeth. The silicone techniques were used to assess the OCA and OCN of the mandibular dentures and the Dental Prescale II was used to evaluate the bite force at the 2-week, 3-month, and 12-month follow-up visits. Occlusal contact analyzer software was used to assess the maxillary and mandibular posterior tooth wear at the 12-month follow-up visit. All data was analyzed using the SPSS software.
resultsThe OCA of group III was significantly higher than that of groups I and II at the 2-week follow-up visit, whereas group I was considerably higher than groups II and III at the 3-month and 12-month follow-up visits. The OCN of the three groups exhibited significant differences at all three follow-up visits. Groups I and II had significantly lower bite force than Group III at the three follow-up visits. At the 12-month follow-up visit, groups I and II had significantly higher wear than Group III.
conclusionsAs the duration of use increases, the occlusal contact area of complete dentures increases, regardless of the occlusal schemes. The bite force of lingualized occlusion is typically lower than that of bilateral balanced occlusion. The wear locations of artificial teeth differ between the two types of occlusal schemes.
