Comparative Evaluation of Microbial Counts in GCF of Patients with Onlay- Retained Fixed Partial Denture Fabricated with Monolithic Zirconia and DMLS - An
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Onlay-retained resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) are a conservative option for posterior tooth replacement. However, their impact on periodontal health, especially microbial colonization in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), remains underexplored. This study compares the microbial load in GCF around RBFPDs fabricated from Monolithic Zirconia and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). Materials and Methods: An Results: Microbial counts were consistently higher in the DMLS group at all time points. Statistically significant differences were observed at baseline and 1-week post-cementation in both Blood and MacConkey agar cultures. At three months, microbial differences were not significant but remained higher in the DMLS group. Conclusion: Monolithic Zirconia showed superior periodontal compatibility due to lower microbial accumulation, making it a preferred material for onlay-retained RBFPDs.
