Use of Wax and Resin Patterns in Global Fixed Prosthetic Rehabilitation.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
In clinical situations of complete rehabilitation with fixed prostheses, mastering each parameter of all restorations (shape, marginal adaptation, proximal and occlusal contacts) proves to be a challenge. The large number of restorations involves many potential adjustments that are time-consuming and lead to final ceramic properties degradation. This clinical report highlights the benefits of using castable patterns in complete fixed prosthetic rehabilitation. Minimal preparations of the teeth were carried out using the conventional mock-up technique. The impressions were then digitized to produce wax and resin patterns (Castable Wax Resin; Formlabs) with a stereolithography 3D printer (Form 2; Formlabs). During oral try-in of patterns, adjustments can be carried out to correct any defects of shape, marginal adaptation, proximal, and occlusal contacts. The definitive restorations were directly pressed from the patterns into lithium disilicate glass-reinforced ceramic (IPS e.max Press; Ivoclar Vivadent) using the lost-wax casting process. Finally, the restorations were placed permanently in the mouth with complete patient satisfaction after 4 years of follow-up. This procedure is intended to reduce ceramic adjustments on definitive restorations. It is especially relevant in complete fixed rehabilitation and in situations where the thickness of ceramic restorations does not allow for try-in before bonding.
