Early intervention with transitional implants for congenitally missing lateral incisors in a pediatric patient: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe anterior maxillary region can be affected by traumatic or congenital loss of a tooth so that a replacement is usually essential [1]. A new innovation is the dental implantation of teeth without requiring adjustments for growth in the jaws and teeth of young patients. It is uncommon to improve the bone area surrounding the dental implant in the presence of these changes. Dental implantology is among the most innovative and fastest-growing therapeutic modes in the field of clinical dentistry. These implants are usually narrow, ranging from 1.8 to 2.5 mm in diameter, making them suitable for placement in confined spaces without affecting adjacent structures. Their insertion involves a straightforward, minimally invasive surgical procedure, often eliminating the need for significant bone modification. Composed primarily of titanium or titanium alloys, they offer excellent biocompatibility and integrate well with bone while reducing the risk of adverse biological reactions [2]. These implants have experienced significant developments over the years, through which they became a major success in the treatment of missing teeth. In this way, dentistry has transformed the way professionals work on rediscovering function, beauty, and confidence for those patients who lost their teeth through decay or severe damage. Because of progress in implant materials, techniques, and technology, dental implants have become a staple of modern restorative medicine, offering reliable outcomes and enhanced quality of life to patients of all age groups. CASE PRESENTATION: A 12-year-old Indian girl came with esthetic concerns and visited the pediatric dentistry department. Orthodontic therapy was performed for the correction of malocclusion, and the missing maxillary lateral incisors were restored with MS transitional implants. The transitional implant achieved outstanding esthetic results and ensured high patient compliance.
conclusionTransitional implants in pediatric patients offer an effective solution for managing congenitally missing laterals and preserving esthetics and function. They provide an opportunity for bone and dental development while awaiting full growth, and long-term follow-up is essential to ensure successful outcomes.
