Impact of treatment modalities on stress distribution in maxillary incisors with varying levels of external cervical resorption: a finite element analysis.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of various treatment modalities on the mechanical behaviour of a simulated maxillary central incisor with external cervical resorption (ECR) at different progression levels using finite element analysis (FEA).
methodsA three-dimensional (3D) model of a maxillary central incisor and surrounding tissues was created. The model was modified to include vestibular or palatal ECR defects of varying heights and circumferential angles. The root canal and the resorption defect were restored using gutta-percha and various repair materials. The models underwent simulated oblique loading of 100 N on the palatal surface. Von Mises stresses within the dentin were evaluated through FEA.
resultsThe mean maximum stress for models with vestibular ECR defects was greater than that for palatinal defects. Complete filling of both the root canal and defect with BioAggregate resulted in the lowest average dentin stresses (5.79 ± 0.11 MPa), while filling the root canal with gutta-percha and the ECR cavity with glass ionomer cement resulted in the highest (6.19 ± 0.05 MPa).
conclusionsFrom a mechanical standpoint, filling the root canal with gutta-percha and repairing the resorption defect with Biodentine is the appropriate management option when ECR occurs on the vestibular surface.
