Collaborative management of severe periodontal-endodontic lesion with intense lip sucking: 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, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundLip behaviors can lead to maxillofacial developmental disorders such as anterior open bite, posterior crossbite, increased overjet, and a higher risk of developing a Class II malocclusion. However, lip-sucking, a behavior often underreported and overlooked, may adversely affect the periodontal health of permanent teeth in adolescents under extreme conditions if not promptly identified and managed. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a unique case of an 11-year-old boy with a severe periodontal-endodontic lesion on tooth 32, caused by prolonged, high-frequency, and high-intensity lip sucking. Initial clinical examination revealed gingival recession, Grade III mobility, deep periodontal pocket, and alveolar bone loss without obvious pathogenesis. The therapeutic schedule encompassed behavioral modification, the repeated application of various dental splints due to splint breakage caused by strong lip-sucking habits, and root canal therapy. The periodontal condition and tooth stability were improved through collaborative management. At the 18-month follow-up, improvements in dental stability, alveolar bone density, and reduced periodontal pocket depth were observed.
conclusionsThis is the first case report exploring the complex relationship between lip-sucking and dental health, emphasizing that severe oral habits can lead to serious dental consequences. Timely identification and intervention in managing oral habits can halt disease progression and ensure favorable outcomes. Additionally, this report offers treatment guidelines and recommendations for severe dental diseases caused by detrimental oral habits.
