The occluding effects of layered calcium phosphate and cyanoacrylate on dentinal tubules: a SEM study.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundDentin hypersensitivity (DH) is characterized by short and sharp pain that impacts quality of life. Effective management focuses on occluding exposed dentinal tubules. This study compared the effectiveness of intermittent and simultaneous calcium phosphate (CP) application with cyanoacrylate (CA) in tubule occlusion.
methodsEighty extracted human premolars without periodontal disease were used to prepare standardized root dentin specimens. After removal of the crowns and apical thirds, disk-shaped fragments were obtained and treated with EDTA to remove the smear layer. The specimens were then randomly allocated to eight groups and treated with CP, CA, or their combination using different protocols (single, multiple, intermittent, or simultaneous layers). All samples were stored in artificial saliva until examination. Dentin tubule occlusion was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and quantitative measurements of tubule exposure and diameter were performed. Statistical analyses were conducted using nonparametric tests, with the significance level set at p < .05.
resultsThe CA and CP + CA groups were most effective in occluding dentinal tubules (p < .01). Intermittent CP application showed similar results to these groups and was more effective than simultaneous application (p < .01). In addition, a positive correlation was found between the number and diameter of exposed tubules across all groups (p < .01).
conclusionIntermittent CP application enhanced tubule occlusion compared with simultaneous use. Under the limitations of this in vitro study, the addition of CA to CP produced outcomes comparable to those of intermittently applied CP.
