The Impact of Smart Materials in Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics From Innovation to Application: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 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
Smart materials have transformed restorative dentistry and endodontics by developing materials that adapt dynamically to external stimuli, including pH, temperature, and mechanical stress. The term "smart" materials refers to the fact that certain materials can be designed to react to many stimuli, including temperature, humidity, pH, stress, electric fields, and magnetic fields. Their increased biocompatibility, prolonged stress tolerance, sealability, and antibacterial qualities make them suitable for use as cement, root restoration materials, root canal sealing agents, filling materials, and sustainable, aesthetically pleasing, and reconstructive products. Making intelligent materials for dentistry is an idea that, such as dentine or enamel, has drawn interest. These materials could lead to innovative and revolutionary dental procedures with significantly better clinical results. An assortment of medications and irrigants are utilized to eradicate canal microbes. To solve this problem, antibacterial nanoparticles have been created. In order to improve general oral health, nanomaterials and dental nanorobots are used in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how "smart materials" can be used in dentistry to maximize the benefits of traditional restorative procedures.
