Treatment of class II malocclusion and ectopic maxillary canines: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis case report presents an innovative approach to managing a complex class II division 1 malocclusion with ectopic maxillary canines using a modified twin block (TB) appliance. The modification facilitated simultaneous skeletal correction and canine eruption, reducing treatment time and improving patient satisfaction. CASE SUMMARY: A 14-year-old male presented with concerns about a retruded chin and spacing between teeth. Clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed a class II division 1 malocclusion on a moderate class II skeletal base, with palatally impacted maxillary canines. Treatment involved a modified Clark TB appliance designed with hooks to allow active traction of the canines, followed by comprehensive fixed orthodontics. Over 18 months, the patient achieved improved occlusion, corrected overjet and overbite, successful eruption of the impacted canines, and enhanced facial aesthetics. The final results showed significant dental and skeletal improvement without requiring surgical intervention.
conclusionA modified TB appliance can effectively manage class II malocclusion with impacted canines in growing patients. The modified approach combining functional mandibular advancement and active canine traction represents a less-documented clinical adaptation, offering a valuable, efficient alternative to traditional two-phase interventions.
