Digital orthodontic setup and clear aligners system for treating adult patients with periodontitis: a descriptive case report.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This case report describes the treatment of an adult female patient with a history of periodontitis (Stage 3 -Grade B) and presenting significant crowding in both maxillary and mandibular arches. After periodontal stabilization, the patient underwent orthodontic treatment with clear aligners (CAT) for less than one year. CAT provided an effective quantitative and qualitative control of the forces applied to resolve the malocclusion. This case report provides a detailed description of the clinical strategy and features associated with the clear aligners system which were considered ideal tools for treating periodontal patients during the decisional workflow. The orthodontic treatment goals have been successfully achieved considering functional, periodontal, and aesthetic expectations. Several characteristics of clear aligners could support the recurrence of this orthodontic system for treating patients with a history of periodontitis or at risk of periodontal damage.
