Refabrication of a Removable Partial Prosthesis Using a 3D-Printed Record Base for a Patient With Microstomia.
Article in Cureus, 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
Microstomia, which is characterized by reduced oral opening, poses significant challenges in prosthesis fabrication, particularly during impression-taking. This technical report describes a novel workflow combining conventional techniques with digital technology to refabricate a removable partial denture for a 65-year-old man with microstomia. The process utilized 3D scan data of the patient's previous prosthesis to create a 3D-printed record base, eliminating the need for full-arch impressions and reducing the burden on both the patient and practitioner. The transparent printed base enabled precise adjustments, and conventional techniques were employed for clasp fabrication and functional seating impressions. This mixed workflow minimized dependency on advanced technical skills or specialized software, streamlining the process and achieving favorable clinical outcomes. The approach demonstrates the potential of integrating digital technology with traditional methods to address the unique challenges of prosthesis fabrication for patients with microstomia.
