Exploring anatomical uniqueness: A rare case report of the buccomesial groove variation in maxillary lateral incisor and its management.

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
This case report introduces the rare anatomical variation in a maxillary lateral incisor, known as the buccomesial groove (BMG). The BMG is rare and leads to endodontic-periodontal lesions. Due to its subtle presence, funnel-shaped form, and varying depth in the root, it facilitates microbial film adhesion, leading to pathology. A 25-year-old Asian male patient presented with pain in his maxillary left lateral incisor. After comprehensive clinical and radiographic assessments, the diagnosis of pulpal necrosis with symptomatic apical periodontitis associated with BMG in the maxillary left lateral incisor was confirmed. A cone-beam computed tomography preoperatively showed the groove extending from two-thirds of the buccal to the mesial side of the left lateral incisor. This case presents a new anatomical anomaly, highlighting the necessity for precise diagnosis and treatment.
