Developmental enamel defects: a must-know for orthodontic practice.
Review in Dental press journal of orthodontics, 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
introductionDevelopmental Enamel Defects (DED) pose a significant challenge for clinicians, particularly orthodontists. These defects can lead to difficulties in differential diagnosis, orthodontic appliance adhesion, treatment planning, and overall patient management.
objectiveThe present review aims to provide orthodontists with a comprehensive understanding of DED and their implications for orthodontic treatment. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify relevant studies on DED and their orthodontic management.
resultsThe available evidence, primarily from laboratory-based studies, is of low to moderate quality. The most challenging DED cases involve structural loss, especially in molars severely affected by molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and certain types of amelogenesis imperfecta.
conclusionsTo address the limitations of current research, well-designed clinical studies are needed to investigate various aspects of DED management, including pre-treatment of affected enamel, adhesive techniques for bracket bonding and removal, extraction of molars affected by MIH, and interdisciplinary collaboration among dental specialists. By advancing the understanding of DED and refining treatment strategies, orthodontists can improve the outcomes for patients with these conditions.
