Hyper-hypodontia, gemination, ankyloglossia and multiple high-attached frena: a case report.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundThe concomitant occurrence of hypodontia and hyperdontia is a rare clinical phenomenon. This report describes the multidisciplinary management of a non-syndromic 8-year-old patient presenting with a complex combination of gemination, bilateral missing mandibular lateral incisors, supplemental maxillary canines, ankyloglossia, and multiple hyperplastic frena. CASE PRESENTATION: An 8-year-old female was referred for the management of ankyloglossia. Clinical and radiographic assessments, utilizing panoramic imaging and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), identified bilateral supernumerary maxillary canines and agenesis of mandibular lateral incisors. Under general anesthesia, the supernumerary teeth were surgically extracted, and frenectomies were performed to restore tongue mobility and enhance periodontal health through improved plaque control. Furthermore, a geminated tooth (73) received prophylactic resin restoration to preserve arch integrity. Maxillary expansion was initiated using a Hyrax appliance for orthodontic interception. The patient remains under longitudinal observation for definitive interdisciplinary orthodontic treatment.
conclusionManaging concurrent numerical and structural dental anomalies requires early detection via advanced imaging and a coordinated, multi-specialty approach. Clinical intervention should prioritize the restoration of physiological function and the prevention of secondary complications, such as periodontal instability or severe malocclusion, rather than isolated phenotypic corrections.
