Digital technology-enhanced reconstruction and rehabilitation following mandible fibular flap grafting with implants: a case report.

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
Objective: In this paper, we report a case of missing posterior teeth after mandibular fibular flap grafting and implant restoration by means of a digital restorative process, in the hope that the application of digital technology will help the patient to comfortably establish an adapted occlusal relationship. Case report: A 29-year-old male patient developed a left mandibular ameloblastoma measuring 35 mm × 35 mm × 25 mm, which did not invade the surrounding bone tissue, submandibular gland tissue, or lymph nodes. After resection of an 85 mm mandibular segment, the patient was reconstructed using a gastrocnemius flap transfer. He was then referred to our institution for postoperative dental implant restoration. The restorative process incorporated various digital technologies including a digital facebow, intraoral scanner, extraoral scanner, facial scanner, and CAD/CAM systems. Following 1 year post-implantation, the patient received second-stage implantation alongside autologous dermal allograft (ADM) transplantation; subsequently, a temporary prosthesis was fabricated while employing an electronic articulator to accurately transfer occlusal relationships before finalizing with permanent restorations. The integration of digital technology throughout this restorative process enhanced both precision and comfort. Conclusions: This case study offers an innovative and efficient clinical approach for addressing dentition defect following mandibular reconstruction via advanced digital methodologies.
