Orthodontics in Pediatric Osteoporosis: A Narrative Literature Review.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disorder, characterized by reduced bone mass and abnormal bone microarchitecture, resulting in increased bone fragility and a heightened risk of low-energy fractures. Pediatric osteoporosis may be either primary, due to genetic factors, or secondary, arising from chronic diseases and/or their treatment. Oral health and proper occlusion are integral components of overall health, influencing functionality, nutrition, facial aesthetics, and psychosocial development during childhood. Severe malocclusion can adversely affect speech, mastication, appearance, psychological well-being, and social interactions. The aim of this narrative review is to examine the existing literature on orthodontic anomalies and management strategies in pediatric patients with osteoporosis while highlighting clinical challenges, treatment limitations, and areas necessitating further research. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the PubMed database, focusing on studies involving human subjects aged 3 to 18 years, published in English between 2002 and 2024. The findings indicate that children with osteoporosis present with more severe dental and occlusal complications compared to their healthy peers, often facing increased orthodontic complexity due to skeletal fragility and systemic comorbidities. These challenges necessitate careful, individualized treatment planning and close multidisciplinary collaboration. Although research in this field remains limited due to the rarity of pediatric osteoporosis, recognizing and addressing the specific needs of this population is critical to improving clinical outcomes and guiding future therapeutic approaches.
