The Role of 3D Printing in Customizing Dental Prosthetics and Orthodontic Appliances.
Review in Galen medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
3D printing technology has introduced significant advancements in dentistry, particularly in the customization of dental prosthetics and orthodontic appliances. By enabling precise, patient-specific designs, 3D printing enhances both the fit and comfort of dental devices, improving patient outcomes and satisfaction. This technology offers notable efficiencies over traditional manufacturing methods, reducing production times and costs while supporting seamless digital workflows in clinical practice. Recent advancements in biocompatible materials and digital integration have expanded the application of 3D printing to a range of dental devices, from crowns and bridges to clear aligners and retainers. However, challenges remain, including material limitations, regulatory hurdles, and technical constraints that can impact adoption, particularly in smaller clinics. Future research aims to address these challenges by exploring new materials, incorporating artificial intelligence for optimized design, and enhancing environmental sustainability through waste reduction. The ongoing evolution of 3D printing in dentistry promises to further personalize and streamline dental care, paving the way for a more patient-centered, efficient, and accessible approach in modern dental practices.
