Management strategies for sport-related traumatic dental injuries: a systematic review based on case reports.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundRecent advancements in sports dentistry have emphasized the critical need for effective management and outcomes assessment of sports related dental injuries. The aim of this systematic review was to compile and analyze case reports and to explore various strategies in treating sports-related dental trauma and thei r outcomes.
methodsA comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, covering the period from 2005 to 2024, was conducted to identify relevant studies focusing on dental injuries among athletes among case reports on a wide range of injuries such as avulsions, fractures, and soft tissue trauma, during sports activities. Two independent researchers conducted the screening and bias assessments using predefined criteria.
resultsThe review includes 8 studies, revealing diverse treatment managements and outcome assessment across different sports activities and injury types. Sports-related dental trauma presents a significant challenge in clinical practice, impacting athletes' oral health and performance. The review underscores the importance of early intervention, adherence to established guidelines, and comprehensive management protocols to optimize treatment outcomes and prevent long-term complications suggesting an evolving role of dentistry in sports medicine and heightened awareness among athletes, coaches, and healthcare providers.
conclusionsIn conclusion, the management of sports dental trauma is highly heterogeneous among different or the same type of sport, highlighting the need for better coach education on IADT guidelines and preventive strategies such as mouthguard use. Future research should address barriers to guideline implementation and evaluate preventive interventions.
