Guided Cavity Preparation to Access an Invagination and Preserve Pulp Vitality of an Immature Maxillary Lateral Incisor With Type IIIa Dens Invaginatus: Technical Overview and a Case Report With 3-Year Follow-Up.
Article in International endodontic journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimDens invaginatus (DI) is a developmental anomaly often associated with caries and periapical pathosis. This report describes guided access and filling of an infected invagination in a maxillary lateral (tooth #22) with long-term preservation of pulp vitality. SUMMARY: A 9-year-old male presented with a palatal sinus tract associated with immature tooth 22. Based on clinical and radiographic examination, a type IIIa DI with a pseudo-foramen midway along the mesial aspect of the root was identified. The tooth had a healthy pulp and peri-invagination periodontitis. A guided endodontic cavity was prepared to selectively access the invagination without compromising the pulp and the invagination filled with a bioceramic calcium silicate-based material. At 36 months the tooth was asymptomatic, and the pulp tested positive. Radiographically, root development was complete with bony healing of the lesion. This case report highlights the effectiveness of guided cavity preparation to access an invagination in an immature tooth with DI while preserving pulp vitality.
