Immediate Interim Restoration Using Natural Tooth as a Pontic in Patients With Generalized Periodontitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report describes an immediate interim restoration of hopeless teeth using natural teeth as pontics in patients diagnosed with generalized periodontitis. The loss of a tooth, particularly in the aesthetic zone, can significantly affect a patient's self-esteem and quality of life. In cases of generalized periodontitis, where tooth loss may be unavoidable, immediate replacement of the lost tooth is crucial for both aesthetic and functional reasons. A natural tooth used as a pontic is inherently the correct size, shape, and color, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing result without the need for extensive modification. This method leverages the existing contours and features of the patient's own tooth, providing a seamless transition in the smile. This case report explores the innovative use of a natural tooth as a pontic, bonded to adjacent abutment teeth using fiber-reinforced resin, offering a cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing solution.
