Optical coherence tomography evaluation of deep dentin crack removal techniques.

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
Background: This in vitro study used optical coherence tomography for noninvasive evaluation of the effectiveness of current clinical techniques to remove deep coronal dentin cracks. Methods: Standard dentin cracks were induced on the pulpal floor of 40 decoronated, extracted, sound human posterior teeth using a diamond disk, resembling cracks extending from marginal ridges. The specimens were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 treatment groups for crack removal using airborne-particle abrasion or a bur (fissure, small round, medium round, or tapered fine diamond). Optical coherence tomographic scans were obtained before and after the crack removal. Three-dimensional image registration analyzed the amount of dentin removed and the dimensions of cracks initiated or propagated in each treatment group. Results: Particle abrasion resulted in the smallest crack propagation in each dimension, which was significantly different from all bur groups (Mann-Whitney, Conclusions: Dental burs used with the purpose of removing pulpal floor dentin cracks induced new small cracks and extended existing cracks, and the volume of removed dentin depended on the shape and size of the bur. Air particle abrasion induced the fewest new cracks despite removing larger dentin volume.
