Micro-CT evaluation of internal adaptation in composite restorations using incremental and sonic-activated techniques.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Internal adaptation of composite restorations remains a challenge, particularly in posterior cavities, as voids and gaps can compromise clinical longevity. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the internal adaptation of composite restorations placed using conventional incremental, oblique incremental and sonic-activated bulk-fill techniques using high-resolution micro-computed tomography. Sixty standardized Class II cavities were restored (n=20 per group) and evaluated for internal gap volume, void volume and total defect percentage. The sonic- activated bulk-fill technique demonstrated significantly lower internal gap and void volumes compared to both incremental techniques (p<0.001). Sonic-activation provides superior internal adaptation, suggesting improved clinical performance over conventional layering methods.
