Using Young Tongue-Holding Forceps for Third Molar Autotransplantation as a New Method for Tooth Handling: A Case Report with a 1-Year Follow-Up :.

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
For the first time in autotransplantation literature, all extraoral procedures on the donor tooth were carried out while holding it by a Young Tongue Holding Forceps, potentially reducing damage to the PDL and enhancing the handling of the tooth. In this case report, we present the autotransplantation of a mandibular third molar into the socket of the adjacent second molar in an 18-year-old patient. The clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed severe pain and a periapical lesion from the previous root canal treatment. The surgical and endodontic steps were carried out with a focus on maintaining the viability of periodontal ligament cells, which would improve the overall prognosis of the transplantation. The donor tooth was secured in the ideal position using sutures for two weeks. The transplanted tooth was followed up for 12 months postoperatively, showing optimal healing and maturation of periodontal and periapical tissues. It seems that Young Tongue Forceps could be used in other dental practices that involve ex vivo or extraoral procedures on a tooth. Furthermore, the forceps could be modified and manufactured to accommodate every type of tooth.
