Multidisciplinary Management of Severe Iatrogenic Injury to the Maxillary Incisors Following Mesiodens Extraction.
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
Iatrogenic injury during mesiodens extraction may result in severe damage to adjacent teeth and supporting structures, particularly when adequate imaging and surgical planning are lacking. This case report describes the multidisciplinary management of extensive iatrogenic trauma involving the maxillary anterior teeth following surgical removal of a mesiodens. A 28-year-old woman presented with grade II mobility of the maxillary incisors (#12, #11, #21, and #22) six months after mesiodens extraction. Clinical and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations revealed extensive root destruction and loss of supporting alveolar bone involving the teeth. A conservative tooth-preserving treatment approach was adopted, including root canal therapy with mineral trioxide aggregate obturation, surgical apicectomy, fiber-reinforced composite splinting, and definitive zirconia prosthetic rehabilitation. Clinical and radiographic follow-up at 12 months demonstrated satisfactory healing, reduction in mobility, and stable functional and esthetic outcomes. This case emphasizes the importance of CBCT-guided surgical planning and interdisciplinary management in preventing and successfully treating complex iatrogenic dental injuries.
