Stainless Steel Crown and Stainless Steel Bands Effect on Periodontal and Gingival Health Among Children: A Comparative Evaluation.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Introduction: Stainless steel crowns (SSCs) and bands are widely used in pediatric dentistry; however, their impact on periodontal and gingival health requires evaluation. This study aimed to compare the effects of SSCs and bands on Gingival Index (GI), Plaque Index (PI), and Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) over 6 months. Methodology: Sixty children aged 6-12 years were divided into two groups: SSCs (n = 30) and bands (n = 30). Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months. Results: The results revealed a progressive increase in GI, PI, and PPD values for both groups, with bands showing higher mean values (e.g., GI: 2.03 ± 0.53 vs. 1.89 ± 0.57 at 6 months), indicating greater gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation. The differences were statistically significant ( Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of proper placement, maintenance, and hygiene education to mitigate periodontal risks. Stainless steel bands were found to have a slightly greater impact compared with crowns, necessitating careful consideration in clinical practice.
