AI and 3D printing-assisted surgical exposure of impacted canines and tooth extraction in complex cleft lip and palate orthodontic treatment.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Impacted maxillary canines are common in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) due to altered anatomy and scar tissue formation, making surgical exposure challenging. This case report describes the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted CBCT segmentation combined with three-dimensional (3D) printing for surgical planning and orthodontic traction of a palatal impacted canine in a unilateral CLP patient. AI-based segmentation enabled precise localization of the impacted tooth and adjacent structures, and a patient-specific 3D printed model was fabricated to guide surgical access and traction direction. A minimally invasive mucoperiosteal flap was performed, followed by immediate light orthodontic traction. The digital workflow facilitated accurate exposure and controlled biomechanical movement without complications. The integration of AI and 3D printing may enhance precision and efficiency in managing complex impacted canine cases associated with CLP.
