Integrating Periodontal Care and Orthodontic Treatment: A Case Study of a Patient Treated With Clear Aligner Therapy (CAT).

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
Adult orthodontic treatment in patients with periodontal fragility requires careful interdisciplinary planning. This case report describes the interdisciplinary management of a 52-year-old female patient presenting with generalized gingival recessions (GRs), thin periodontal biotype, and dental crowding, treated using clear aligner therapy (CAT) combined with periodontal follow-up and postorthodontic mucogingival surgery. Orthodontic treatment was carefully planned to reposition dental roots within the alveolar housing while minimizing periodontal risk in the absence of CBCT. Following orthodontic alignment and retention, connective tissue grafting was performed to treat residual GRs. Clinical, radiographic, and occlusal outcomes demonstrated stable periodontal conditions, changes in occlusal contact distribution, and satisfactory esthetic results at 1-year follow-up. The uniqueness of this case lies in the use of clear aligners as a periodontal-supportive orthodontic strategy, combined with delayed surgical intervention, highlighting the role of precise root control and interdisciplinary coordination in periodontally fragile adult patients.
