Conservative Management of Invasive Cervical Resorption Using Biodentine With Adjunctive Laser-Assisted Photodynamic and Photobiomodulation Therapy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is an aggressive form of external root resorption that can cause significant structural damage if not detected early. This case report describes the conservative management of ICR using Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France) with adjunctive laser-assisted photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) to enhance disinfection and promote healing. A 53-year-old female patient presented with a fractured maxillary central incisor and was diagnosed with Heithersay Class III ICR. Endodontic treatment was initiated, followed by surgical exposure of the resorptive defect. Granulation tissue was removed using an erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser (2,940 nm). Antimicrobial PDT was performed using 0.01% methylene blue activated with a 660 nm diode laser. The defect was restored with Biodentine. Postoperative PBM using an 810 nm diode laser was applied after suturing to enhance soft tissue healing. Postoperative evaluation demonstrated satisfactory soft tissue healing at the surgical site without signs of inflammation or infection. Radiographic examination revealed restoration of the cervical defect with Biodentine and preservation of the surrounding periodontal structures. This multimodal laser-assisted approach may represent a predictable and minimally invasive strategy for the management of ICR.
