How Does the Bonding Strength of Reline Materials and Denture Teeth Vary Between 3D-Printed and Milled Complete Denture Bases? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 systematically compare the bond strength of denture teeth and reline materials to additively manufactured (AM) versus subtractively milled (SM) denture base resins and to identify the material- and process-related factors influencing bonding performance. MATERIALS AND
methodsA systematic electronic search of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar was conducted up to December 10, 2024. Eligible in vitro studies comparing bond strength at either the tooth-base or reline-base interface using AM and SM denture bases were included. Studies that lacked direct comparison, involved conventional heat-polymerized bases, or did not report quantitative bond strength data were excluded. Meta-analyses were performed using random-effects models, calculating mean differences (MD) for tooth bonding and standardized mean differences (SMD) for reline bonding. Subgroup, sensitivity, and publication bias analyses (Egger's regression and Begg's rank tests) were included. Risk of bias was evaluated using QUIN tools.
resultsOut of 2985 screened records, 20 studies comprising 156 independent comparisons were included; 41 for tooth bonding and 115 for reline bonding. Initial tooth-bonding meta-analysis revealed no significant difference; however, after exclusion of two outlier comparisons identified through sensitivity analysis (n = 39), milled bases demonstrated significantly higher bond strength (MD = -2.43 MPa, 95% CI-3.90 to -0.96; p = 0.001). For reline bonding, AM bases consistently underperformed across all studies, with the pooled estimate favoring milled bases (SMD = -2.62, 95% CI-3.22 to -2.03; p = 0.001).
conclusionWithin the limitations of this review, milled denture bases demonstrate consistently stronger and more reliable bonding to both teeth and reline materials than current printable photopolymer bases.
