Diagnosis and surgical management of impacted mandibular canines associated with a dentigerous cyst and odontoma: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In dental practice, impacted canines are common clinical conditions that compromise tooth mobility, thereby severely affecting functionality and esthetics. They also represent a significant challenge, particularly when associated with odontogenic pathologies such as dentigerous cysts and odontomas. These entities, despite benign, can cause complications, including tooth displacement, root resorption, and alterations in normal eruption, compromising both esthetics and function. We present the case of a 15-year-old female patient with no relevant medical history who attended for orthodontic treatment planning. Computed tomography scans revealed bilateral impaction of the mandibular canines, associated with radiolucent images consistent with dentigerous cysts. A mixed radiolucent-radiopaque image was also observed in the area of the lower right first premolar, suggesting an odontoma. Surgical management was proposed, including enucleation of the cysts, removal of the odontoma, and placement of orthodontic appliances on the exposed canines to facilitate their movement. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of two dentigerous cysts and one compound odontoma. In the surgical follow-up, the intervention area evolved satisfactorily, with no signs of complications, such as infection, delayed healing, or recurrence of the lesion. One of the most complex clinical challenges is managing impacted mandibular canines when associated with odontogenic pathologies. The implementation of advanced diagnostic tools such as computed tomography, along with appropriate surgical techniques and strategic orthodontic planning, effectively addresses these clinical presentations. Timely multidisciplinary treatment promotes the resolution of associated pathologies and optimizes dental alignment, contributing to improved masticatory function and facial esthetics. These comprehensive approaches are essential to ensure predictable and successful outcomes in certain complex cases.
