An alternative technique for fabricating a resilient gingival mask on a three-dimensionally printed implant cast.

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
Accurately replicating the peri-implant and pontic site soft tissues in a master cast is essential for achieving optimal contours in an implant-supported prosthesis. An implant cast with soft tissue replication allows for seamless integration of the prosthesis with the natural oral anatomy, resulting in an ideal emergence profile and improved esthetics. Furthermore, it encourages proper oral hygiene, leading to improved overall gingival health. A flexible gingival mask is used for this purpose. There are well-established methods for fabricating these masks on dental stone casts in an analog method. On the other hand, there is only one method currently being used to fabricate gingival masks on three-dimensional (3D) printed implant casts, which is both labor intensive and time consuming. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a quicker and more effective method for creating gingival masks for 3D printed implant casts.
