Remineralization of Enamel Using Topical Agents among Patients with Orthodontic Brackets:
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 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
Aim and background: To evaluate the Materials and methods: Twenty patients, who consented, were included into three experimental and a control group, following screening for inclusion, exclusion, and randomization. The experimental group was intervened with either GC Tooth Mousse Plus®, Clinpro® Tooth Cream, or Amflor® toothpaste. The baseline values were recorded using DIAGNOdent® following oral prophylaxis and brackets were bonded. The intervention group received the respective topical application of agents. Posttreatment values were recorded after 90 seconds of intervention and 20th day postintervention. Extraction of respective tooth was done on the 21st day to evaluate the microhardness using the Vickers hardness test. Results: The results show the effectiveness of GC Tooth Mousse Plus® over Amflor® toothpaste followed by Clinpro® Tooth Cream for remineralization among patients undergoing orthodontic treatment and microhardness was highest for GC Tooth Mousse Plus®. Conclusion: Topical agents can be used effectively as remineralizing agents in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Clinical significance: Advanced diagnostic tools like the DIAGNOdent Pen® and remineralizing agents contribute to a comprehensive and proactive approach to dental care, particularly in populations with specific risk factors like children with high sucrose consumption.
