A Personalized 4D Workflow for the Manufacturing of Functional and Removable Esthetic Devices: A Technical Report.
Article in Journal of esthetic and restorative dentistry : official publication of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry ... [et al.], 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis technical report describes a fully digital workflow for the manufacturing of a functional removable esthetic device (FRED) that addresses multiple clinical scenarios before prosthetic rehabilitation. The proposed method integrates advanced digital tools to achieve functional and esthetic outcomes while ensuring reversibility and patient comfort. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: The workflow includes intraoral and facial scanning, jaw motion tracking, and CAD/CAM technology to create a 4D virtual patient. This allows for a precise recording of the maxillomandibular relationship and facilitates the determination of the comfort position to establish a new occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). FRED is a custom-designed, removable, tooth-colored device manufactured to provide temporary functional support, esthetic preview, catering to different clinical scenarios, including tooth wear, occlusal trauma, and periodontal conditions.
conclusionsThis technique combines digital and traditional prosthetic principles into a patient-centered, adaptable workflow, allowing precise, non-invasive, and dynamic evaluation of OVD modifications. By integrating digital recording, facial scanning, and CAD/CAM fabrication, it enhances function, esthetics, and patient comfort. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This technique highlights the synergy of digital innovation and prosthetic principles, enhancing diagnostic capabilities and treatment predictability. The patient-centered design supports functional stability and esthetic outcomes, making it a valuable tool in modern prosthetic dentistry.
