Effect of nutritional status on dental maturation and mandibular bone density among Indonesian children aged 6-9 Years in Yogyakarta.

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
Introduction: Growth and development in children depend significantly on their nutritional status; therefore, nutritional deficiencies can greatly influence dental and bone maturity. The level of dental maturation can be used to measure dental development. Mandibular bone density (MBD) can directly impact certain invasive procedures, such as extractions and dental trauma management. This study aimed to determine the influence of nutritional status on dental maturation and MBD in children aged 6-9 years. Materials and methods: The study used 108 panoramic radiographs from children in this age and divided them into three groups: low, moderate, and high nutritional status. The nutritional status was determined on the basis of height-for-age (H/A) z-scores using the WHO H/A chart. The dental maturity score was calculated as the total score of the seven mandibular teeth in the left region using the Nolla method. Using fractal analysis, MBD was measured as the average fractal dimension values from three regions of interest (ROI): the condyle, angle, and below the second premolar and first permanent molar of the left mandible. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA for dental maturation levels and the Kruskal-Wallis test for MBD (95 % CI). Results: The results showed significant differences in dental maturation levels between the nutritional status groups, with dental maturation in the low-nutrition group being significantly slower than in the other groups. The MBD showed no significant differences between the nutritional status groups. Conclusion: This study concluded that nutritional status influences the level of dental maturation, but not MBD.
