Full-Digital Manni Telescopic Herbst: structural innovation and digital manufacturing.

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: Skeletal Class II malocclusion, commonly characterized by mandibular retrusion, affects a significant portion of the population and presents challenges in orthodontic correction. The Herbst Appliance has long been used for mandibular advancement, but traditional designs often lead to undesirable dental side effects and mechanical complications. This paper introduces the structural innovation and digital manufacturing of Full Digital Manni Telescopic Herbst (MTH) Appliance, a structurally innovative and digitally manufactured system aimed at enhancing clinical outcomes and reducing treatment failures. Materials and equipment: Utilizing a fully digital workflow, including CAD/CAM design, intraoral scanning, and additive manufacturing, the MTH appliance integrates a full-coverage mandibular splint, digitally designed and precision-engineered maxillary and mandibular components. Results: The clinical implementation of the MTH appliance demonstrates excellent fit and high mechanical reliability, reducing lower incisor proclination and offering a proper vertical control. Complications such as debonding or fractures can be significantly reduced and digital reproducibility allows for fast component replacement when needed. Discussion and conclusion: This design improves skeletal correction by enhancing anchorage, minimizing lower incisor proclination, and allowing precise vertical and sagittal control. The digital workflow not only improves fabrication accuracy and patient comfort but also facilitates easy component replacement and reduced chairside time. The MTH appliance sets a new benchmark in Class II treatment, blending digital precision with biomechanical effectiveness.
