22 months follow-up of deep marginal acquisition with thermacut bur in management of deep subgingival interproximal carious lesions: a case report.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundMinimally invasive dentistry is now becoming the forefront of restorative dentistry, involving less traumatic treatment protocols, conservation of tooth structure and surrounding tissues, enhancing the long-term survivability of treated teeth, and improving the overall quality of life for patients.
objectiveThe current case report was conducted to evaluate acquiring deep subgingival interproximal carious lesions by the mean of thermacut bur gingivectomy, in terms of patient satisfaction through pain evaluation, Bleeding on Probing, Pocket Depth, Crestal Bone Level evaluation, and restoration evaluation using modified USPHS criteria. MATERIAL AND
methodsA patient with a deep proximal cavity in the posterior tooth was thoroughly examined and underwent Thermacut Bur Gingivectomy (TBG) after caries removal followed by direct resin composite restoration of the prepared cavity. Patient Satisfaction using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) as a primary outcome. Bleeding on Probing (BoP), Probing Depth (PD), and Crestal Bone Level (CBL) as secondary outcomes, and Marginal Integrity using Modified USPHS Criteria as a tertiary outcome, were evaluated at the baseline, immediate post-operative, 6 month, 12 month and 22 month follow-up intervals.
resultsThermacut bur gingivectomy revealed minimal immediate post-operative pain, minimal time-consuming procedure, minimal (BoP), appropriate (PD) and no need for extra specialty involvement in the treatment of deep interproximal carious lesions in addition to preservation of the alveolar bone crest with excellent restoration margin at different time intervals.
conclusionsThermacut bur gingivectomy can be considered a valid treatment for managing of deep subgingival interproximal carious lesions in vital teeth. Thermacut bur gingivectomy can be introduced as an easy technique for clinicians in the management of deep subgingival interproximal carious lesions, without the need to refer patients to periodontists and without the need for special devices.
