Snap-On PMMA Provisional Restorations in a Full Digital Workflow for the Rehabilitation of Worn Dentition: A Clinical Report.

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
objectiveTo highlight the application of digitally fabricated Snap-On PMMA provisional restorations as a minimally invasive and adaptable methodology for assessing the vertical dimension of occlusion and occlusal stability during the comprehensive rehabilitation of worn dentition. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: A clinical case is presented involving a 58-year-old male with severe anterior tooth wear, multiple edentulous spaces, and occlusal dysfunction. The patient underwent full-arch digital rehabilitation through a workflow incorporating intraoral scanning, facial scanning, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and virtual smile design. Snap-On PMMA milled provisional restorations enabled real-time evaluation of the proposed VDO, phonetics, esthetics, and centric occlusion in a reversible, non-invasive manner. Their use also enabled immediate implant loading at site #22 and facilitated the digital transfer of the validated occlusal scheme from the provisional stage to the definitive CAD/CAM restorations. Definitive restorations were fabricated using monolithic zirconia and lithium disilicate, selected for their superior mechanical strength, longevity, and esthetic potential.
conclusionSnap-On PMMA provisional restorations represent an effective diagnostic and transitional tool in the management of worn dentition. Integrated into a fully digital workflow, they enhance treatment predictability by allowing reversible clinical validation and direct digital transfer of occlusal parameters to the final prostheses. Combined with advanced restorative materials, this approach improves treatment predictability, patient satisfaction, and the long-term clinical success of managing complex cases of worn dentition. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Snap-On PMMA provisionals offer a minimally invasive, reversible way to assess occlusion, function, and esthetics before final restoration. This technique enhances accuracy and predictability in full-mouth rehabilitations, making it highly valuable in esthetic dentistry.
