Impact of endodontic access cavity preparation on the fracture resistance of CAD-CAM crowns.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe present research aimed to assess the impact of endodontic access cavity preparation on the fracture resistance of CAD-CAM crowns. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 40 extracted human upper first premolars were utilized in present research. All premolars were affixed in epoxy resin blocks, prepared by utilizing a CNC milling machine to receive full coverage ceramic crowns, and evenly split into two primary groups based on the type of ceramic; Group LD: teeth restored with lithium-disilicate (LD) crowns, and Group PIC: teeth restored with polymer-infiltrated ceramic (PIC) crowns. Every group was subdivided into 2 subgroups (n=10); Subgroup LDI: Intact LD crowns, Subgroup LDR: Repaired LD crowns, Subgroup PICI: Intact vita PIC crowns, and Subgroup PICR: Repaired PIC crowns. Crowns were cemented using Calibra Universal resin cement. The repaired subgroups received a standardized access cavity at the center of the occlusal surface and then repaired with direct composite resin. All samples were exposed to thermo-mechanical loading in a chewing simulator for 118,000 cycles, loaded until failure, and then statistically analyzed.
resultsFor intact control subgroups, the greatest mean scores were showed in PICI (1308.71±244.15 N) compared to LDI (1154.38±133.83 N), and the variation was not statistically significant (P=0.097). For repaired subgroups, the highest mean values were recorded for PICR (727.84±240.52 N) compared to LDR (707.03±298.28 N), and the variation was not statistically significant (P=0.866).
conclusionsBoth LD and PIC crowns perform the same after exposure to an endodontic access cavity, suggesting their repairability and useability.
