Integrating sustainability in dentistry: a pathway towards achieving the UN 2030 agenda.
Review in Frontiers in oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The growing impact of the climate crisis has raised significant concerns due to its profound effects on public health and ecological stability. This article explores how the implementation of sustainable practices in dentistry can contribute to a more efficient, safe and environmentally responsible approach, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals outlined in the United Nations' 2030 Agenda. A key focus is on waste reduction, which is achieved through the promotion of oral health and disease prevention, thereby minimising the waste and carbon emissions associated with dental care. In addition, the responsible use of resources such as water and energy and the use of environmentally sustainable dental materials play a critical role in reducing the environmental footprint of dentistry. Key measures such as the recycling of single-use plastics are essential to curb pollution and reduce the uptake of microplastics by marine ecosystems and humans. Education and awareness of sustainability is also essential. This can be promoted by integrating sustainable principles into the curriculum of dental courses and within scientific committees. Promoting these practices among emerging health professionals and researchers will drive the development of innovative alternatives that further reduce the environmental impact of the field.
