A Minimally Invasive Approach for Correction of Anterior Spacing and Proclination With Lithium Disilicate Glass-Ceramic Veneers: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Achieving a balance between function and aesthetics is a critical aspect of restorative dentistry, particularly in the anterior maxillary region. This case report presents the use of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic laminate veneers as a minimally invasive solution for a 37-year-old female patient with spacing and proclination of upper anterior teeth. The patient sought an aesthetic enhancement but declined orthodontic treatment. A comprehensive treatment plan, incorporating digital mock-ups and mathematical indices for smile design, was formulated. IPS e-max veneers were fabricated and bonded using an adhesive protocol to enhance durability and aesthetics while preserving natural tooth structure. The final restorations achieved significant improvement in smile harmony, proportion, and function. At a six-month follow-up, the veneers demonstrated excellent stability, with no signs of debonding, discoloration, or gingival inflammation. This case highlights the effectiveness of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic veneers in addressing aesthetic concerns while maintaining minimally invasive principles, ensuring long-term success and patient satisfaction.
