1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry, particularly in smile design and prosthetic planning, represents a significant advancement in digital dentistry. Despite growing technological capabilities, there remains a knowledge gap in clinical awareness and adoption. Aim: To assess the awareness, current utilization, and perceptions of AI-based tools for smile design and prosthetic planning among dental professionals. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire. The survey was distributed among general dentists, prosthodontists, periodontists, oral surgeons, and postgraduate students across India. Responses were analyzed to evaluate awareness levels, usage trends, perceived advantages, and barriers to adoption. Results: Out of 320 respondents, 68% were aware of AI applications in smile design, while only 23% had implemented AI tools in clinical practice. The most commonly cited advantages were improved accuracy (76%) and enhanced patient communication (64%). Barriers included cost, lack of training, and limited access to AI-integrated systems. Conclusion: Although awareness of AI in smile design and prosthetic planning is increasing, clinical adoption remains low. Continued professional education, cost reduction, and academic curriculum integration may accelerate the adoption of AI technologies in routine prosthodontic and esthetic practice.
