Kissing molars associated with dentigerous cyst: a rare case report and surgical management.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundKissing molars (KMs) is a rare dental impaction where the occlusal surfaces of two molars are in contact within a shared dental follicle. While typically non-pathogenic, it may induce cystic changes which ultimately determine the appropriate management and overall prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we present a case of kissing second and third left mandibular molars identified on routine examination. Intraoral Radiography showed an associated unilocular radiolucency engulfing the crowns of the impacted teeth. Cone-beam CT showed no involvement of the inferior alveolar nerve or perforation of alveolar bone. Surgical extraction of both teeth alongside enucleation of the lesion was performed. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst.
conclusionThis case emphasizes the importance of routine radiographic assessment for the early detection of oral pathologies along with selection of the suitable treatment modality. Image-guided surgical removal of both teeth and cyst was individualized for the patient to reduce risk of complications.
