Orthodontic mesialization of third molars using a t-shaped palatal indirect anchorage device for posterior dentition rehabilitation: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAdolescents with posterior tooth loss face clinical challenges due to skeletal immaturity that precludes implant placement leading to masticatory dysfunction, diminished quality of life, and progressive alveolar atrophy. To address this issue, a literature review was conducted to identify potential interventions. However, a critical evaluation of these strategies revealed limitations within current treatment approaches. Based on these findings, an innovative biomechanical protocol was established for third molar mesialization, incorporating a customized T-shaped palatal indirect anchorage device (T-PIAD) to achieve precise three-dimensional spatial control. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report details the orthodontic management of a 16-year-old male with multiple posterior tooth loss. A bone-conservation protocol was implemented through maxillomandibular molar mesialization using a customized T-PIAD. The 36-month treatment achieved complete edentulous space closure via third molars protraction, with no significant complications. Post-treatment stability was confirmed through 24-month follow-up observations.
conclusionsT-PIAD-assisted orthodontic mesialization of third molars demonstrates promising potential in addressing posterior tooth loss among adolescent patients, providing a biologically compatible alternative to prosthetic replacements during craniofacial development phases.
