In vitro comparison of the marginal adaptation of cold ceramic sealer with the single-cone obturation technique versus AH-26 sealer with the lateral compaction technique in single-canal teeth.
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 5 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
objectivesThis study aimed to compare the marginal adaptation of a cold ceramic (CC) sealer with the single-cone obturation technique with that of an AH-26 sealer with the lateral compaction technique in single-canal teeth. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this in vitro experimental study, the root canals of 24 extracted single-rooted single-canal teeth were instrumented to F3 files by the crown-down technique and randomly assigned to 2 groups (n = 12). The root canals were obturated with a CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique with 4% gutta-percha in group 1 and with an AH-26 sealer and lateral compaction technique with 2% gutta-percha in group 2. After 4 weeks of storage at room temperature and 100% humidity, the root ends were sectioned horizontally 3 mm from the apex, and the mean linear distance between the root filling material and the root dentinal wall was measured under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Comparisons were made by the Mann‒Whitney test (alpha = 0.05).
resultsThe mean linear distance (gap) was significantly smaller in the CC sealer/single-cone group than the AH-26/lateral compaction group (6.72 ± 2.57 vs. 12.94 ± 4.82 μm, P = 0.001).
conclusionMarginal adaptation was significantly higher with the CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique than with the AH-26/lateral compaction technique, suggesting the suitability of the CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique for a hermetic seal in single-canal teeth.
