Awareness, Attitudes, Needs, and Demands Toward Tooth Replacement Options Among Patients at an Emirati University-Setting Clinic.
Review in International journal of dentistry, 2026. 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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the awareness, attitudes, needs, and demands of patients at Ajman University regarding available tooth replacement options. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 200 patients attending Ajman University's dental clinics. The sample consisted of 51.5% males and 48.5% females, all aged 18 years or older with one or more missing teeth. Participants completed a structured, closed-ended questionnaire designed to reveal their knowledge of dental prostheses, the reasons for seeking or delaying replacement, and their preferences for prosthodontic treatment options. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests with a significance level of Results: Significant associations were found between the demographic variables (independent variables) and the key prosthodontic-related measures assessed in the study (dependent variables). Age and gender were significantly associated with the number of missing teeth ( Conclusion: Patients demonstrated a high level of awareness of dental prostheses, particularly removable dentures, with implants emerging as the most preferred replacement option. Financial limitations and fear of discomfort were major barriers to seeking prosthetic treatment. Enhancing patient education and implementing financial support strategies may improve the uptake of prosthetic rehabilitation.
