Effects of torque overcorrection on mandibular incisor intrusion using clear aligners in the first premolar non-extraction and extraction conditions: a finite element analysis study.

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
backgroundDuring intrusion and retraction, the mandibular incisors tend to tip labio-lingually, which might damage the surrounding alveolar bone. This study aimed to investigate the effect of torque overcorrection on the tooth movement and the stress distribution of the periodontal tissues.
methodsMandible and mandibular dentition were reconstructed in the digital software. Three groups were divided: first premolar non-extraction with incisor intrusion (NEI) group, first premolar extraction with incisor intrusion (EI) group, and first premolar extraction with incisor intrusion and retraction (EIR) group. The intrusion amount of 0.25 mm with different torque overcorrection degrees (0°, 1°, 2°, 3°) were sequentially added on the incisors. The biomechanical responses of the teeth and periodontal tissues were calculated in the ANSYS software.
resultsWith no overcorrection, the incisors were intruded with lingual tipping, while the canines and premolars were extruded with mesial tipping. The compressive stress was concentrated on the lingual cervical and labial apical areas of the periodontal ligaments (PDLs) and alveolar bone. The incisors in the EIR group showed the most lingual displacement and the highest stress level. When 1°, 1° and 3° overcorrection degrees were added in the NEI, EI and EIR groups, respectively, the lingual displacement of the incisors decreased to zero and the stress was uniformly distributed on the PDLs and alveolar bone. With the increase of the overcorrection degrees, the incisors tended to tip labially, while the canines and premolars also gradually showed distal tipping tendencies. The compressive stresses were concentrated on the labial cervical and lingual apical areas of the PDLs and alveolar bone.
conclusionsDuring mandibular incisor intrusion, the torque overcorrection design may help reduce the lingual tipping tendencies of the incisors, relieve the compressive stress on the periodontal tissues, and protect the anchorage from the canines and premolars. When the first premolar was extracted, similar overcorrection degrees are required if the incisor retraction was not designed. However, more overcorrection degrees are required if the incisor intrusion and retraction were designed synchronously.
