Clinical Evaluation of BioFlx Crowns for the Restoration of Primary Teeth.

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
Background: The "BioFlx" crowns are a new generation of crowns. They have been marketed as flexible, long-lasting, self-adapting, and life-like preformed pediatric full-coverage restorations for primary teeth that offer the flexibility and snug fit of the preformed metal crowns, and the esthetics of preformed zirconia crowns. The clinical data in the literature for this crown are still nascent and evolving. Aim: The present study evaluated the clinical performance of the BioFlx crown. Materials and methods: Fifty BioFlx crowns were cemented in children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The crowns were evaluated immediately before cementation and at 6 months using the modified United States Public Health Service Ryge (USPHSR) scale. Results: Descriptive statistics for each parameter in the study group were used for statistical purposes. The total number of crowns cemented, 50 (100%), compared to the number of dislodged crowns, 16 (32%), at 6 months in the "retention after cementation" parameter, were subjected to the Chi-square test. It revealed a Conclusion: The BioFlx crowns showed positive results concerning resistance to dislodgement before cementation, parental acceptance of esthetics, staining, gingival health, plaque retention, and occlusal wear. The results with respect to retention, though not statistically significant, require long-term clinical follow-up. Clinical significance: This study addresses a significant gap in the clinical data regarding BioFlx crowns, a novel dental restoration material in pediatric dentistry. Marketed for their flexibility, durability, self-adaptability, and esthetic appeal, BioFlx crowns offer a comparative option to traditional preformed metal and zirconia crowns.
