Minimally Invasive Direct Approach for Severe Dental Fluorosis: Balancing Aesthetics and Quality of Life.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Dental fluorosis, a condition caused by excessive fluoride intake during enamel formation, can significantly affect patients' quality of life due to aesthetic concerns. Depending on severity, treatment options range from bleaching or resin infiltration to more invasive techniques like veneers or crowns. In this article, a young patient with severe dental fluorosis underwent a stepwise, personalized and minimally invasive treatment including bleaching, micro- and macro-abrasion, resin infiltration, composite resin layering and composite resin injection. The results highlight the positive impact on the patient's quality of life, as evidenced by the reduction in the Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) score from 23 to 0, and the effectiveness of these conservative techniques in achieving satisfactory aesthetic outcomes. This case report highlights that minimally invasive approaches can effectively restore dental aesthetics in severe fluorosis cases, significantly enhancing patients' quality of life-including psychological and social well-being-while preserving tooth structure.
