1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo present a structured decision-making approach to full-mouth rehabilitation in patients with generalized severe tooth wear, using functional risk classification (Green, Yellow, Red) and the Smile Design and Space (SDS) Concept for vertical dimension planning. MATERIAL AND

methodsA 65-year-old male presented with generalized erosion and attrition, affecting esthetics and speech. A structured diagnostic protocol began with symptom-based questionnaires and clinical examination. He was categorized as "Yellow" indicating the absence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), repeatable occlusion, but need for interdisciplinary pretreatment. The SDS Concept guided the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) increase, based on incisal display, smile line, and prosthetic space, using the formula A + B - C = VDO. Functional crown lengthening was performed to restore the ferrule. Restorations were done with adhesively bonded lithium disilicate crowns and layered ceramics.

resultsA 10 mm VDO increase was well tolerated, with restored esthetics, stable occlusion, and improved phonetics. The SDS protocol provided a reproducible, esthetically driven method for VDO and prosthetic space evaluation with no complications.

conclusionsIntegrating functional risk classification with the SDS concept enables individualized, systematic full-mouth rehabilitation in severe tooth wear cases, improving diagnostic precision and interdisciplinary communication.
