The effectiveness of vitamin C in dental alveolus healing after dental extraction: A scoping review.
Article in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2025. 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
backgroundDental extraction is a common procedure in dentistry. It is accompanied by postoperative pain and inflammation. In addition, it decreases bone volume and density. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and cofactor that promotes the synthesis and maturation of collagen, the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and osteoblasts, accelerating the final phase of inflammation, promoting healing. The objective of this scoping review is to evaluate the effectiveness of vitamin c in dental alveolus healing after extraction and synthesize the available evidence and tits clinical implications. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis review is registered on the Open Science Framework platform (https://osf.io/bstwk/). It was carried out under the PRISMA-ScR protocol, using the question: Is vitamin C effective in alveolar healing in patients undergoing dental extraction? The Pubmed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and OPENGREY databases were used. Limiting itself to primary studies.
resultsA total of 287 articles were identified, applying selection criteria, 3 were included. Of a total of 135 patients, 59.8% were administered vitamin C; 46.6% 600 mg, 34.2% 500 mg and 19.2% 1500 mg. A decrease in pain, inflammation, probing depth and mesiodistal length of the socket was observed.
conclusionsThe role of vitamin C is essential for healing, and therefore, bone regeneration after tooth extraction, reducing adverse effects such as pain and inflammation. Its administration is recommended to promote postoperative recovery. More studies are suggested to observe its effects in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
