Digital occlusal analysis of the impact of natural dentition and different types of rehabilitation on the occlusal force variations: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. 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
Statement of problem: Dental restorations reduce occlusal force through a compensatory feedback mechanism. Thus, the type of restoration used during rehabilitation plays a vital role in altering occlusal force and contact area. The effects of factors such as the remaining dentition, occlusal contact area, and different types of rehabilitation on occlusal force need further exploration. Aim: Evaluate the evidence of occlusal contact areas and various rehabilitation methods on influencing the occlusal force assessed using digital occlusal analyzers.Materials & Method: The protocol followed the Cochrane standards for systematic reviews and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024623551). The literature search used the Population, Exposure, Comparator, Outcome, Study Design (PECOS) strategy. Database for searched until December 2024. Randomized controlled trial, observational studies including cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies that investigated the relationship of occlusal force with occlusal contact area, masticatory force, occlusal time, and number of remaining natural dentition using Dental Prescale or T scan. Results: 545 articles were retrieved, and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria 13 observation studies were systematically filtered, 3 studies were included in the meta-analysis and all 13 studies were taken for qualitative data synthesis. Cochrane ROBINS 1 tool revealed a moderate risk of bias for the included studies. The fixed effect model showed moderate heterogeneity(I Conclusion: Occlusal force was increased with rehabilitation compared to the edentulous site, however, the amount of force established in a complete set of natural dentitions was more than the rehabilitated site. The location of teeth in the arch, and the number of remaining dentitions played a role in occlusal force.
