Dynamic Navigation-Assisted Coronectomy of a Deeply Impacted Mandibular Third Molar: A 5-Year Case Follow-Up.

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
Coronectomy is a conservative surgical technique used to manage deeply impacted mandibular third molars at high risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury. Precise execution is essential to avoid complications, particularly in cases with limited surgical access. Dynamic navigation (DN) systems may enhance accuracy and safety in such procedures. This report describes the 5-year follow-up of a DN-assisted coronectomy in a 42-year-old patient presenting with recurrent pericoronitis and a pericoronal lesion associated with a deeply impacted lower third molar. Preoperative planning was performed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and DN was employed intraoperatively to guide surgical instrumentation in real time. The procedure was carried out according to a standardized protocol, including crown sectioning, root reduction, and primary closure. No intraoperative or early postoperative complications were observed. At 5-year follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic. Clinical examination showed complete mucosal healing and normal probing depths. Radiographic evaluation revealed retained roots without signs of pathology and bone formation distal to the second molar. This case may highlight the potential role of DN in improving surgical control during coronectomy in anatomically complex situations, contributing to a favorable long-term clinical and radiographic outcome.
