1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesDenture base materials contain unreacted monomers, which may act as bioactive compounds and affect cells and tissues in vital organs such as the liver and heart. The aim of this study was to assess the cytotoxic and cell viability effect of 3 Dimensional printed (3D) and heat cured acrylic (HCR) denture base resins on oral epithelial cells in humans and hepatic and myocardium cells in rats. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe Sulfo-rhodamine B (SRB) assay was used to evaluate cell viability. In 96-well plates, aliquots of 100 µL cell suspension (5 × 10

resultsThere was a concentration dependent decrease in the cell viability of human oral epithelial cells, and rats' hepatic and myocardium cells in both heat cured acrylic resin and 3D printed resin.100ug/ml concentration caused the highest decrease in cell viability percentage. However, there was a statistical significant difference between all concentrations in the 3 cell lines. Also, morphological picture showed the heat cured resin had a more deteriorating changes in the 3 cell lines more than 3D printed resin.

conclusion3D printed and heat cured acrylic denture base resins seemed to affect cell viability of human's oral epithelial cells and rats' hepatic and myocardium cells to some degree but without reaching cytotoxicity thresholds. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Denture wearers wear their dentures for long period of time, and as dentures are made up of chemicals which may have a deteriorating effect on the patients' general health. This research investigates which denture base material to be considered as the most biocompatible and safe for patients' usage. Also, helps practitioners in choosing the more biocompatible material for their patients.
