Clinical Challenges in the Management of Complex Tooth Impaction and Transposition: A Case Series.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesTooth impaction and transposition are developmental dental anomalies that pose significant challenges in orthodontics, oral surgery, and restorative dentistry. These anomalies disrupt normal occlusal development and complicate diagnosis and treatment planning because of altered anatomy, a higher risk of adjacent tooth resorption, associated pathology such as cyst formation, and biomechanical challenges during orthodontic intervention.
methodsThree paediatric patients with complex eruption disturbances, including impacted incisors, impacted primary molars, and transposed maxillary canines, were managed using individualised conservative orthodontic approaches. The cases involved obstruction by supernumerary teeth, ectopic eruption with space loss, and tooth transposition complicated by root dilaceration and malocclusion. Comprehensive clinical and radiographic assessment, including CBCT when indicated, guided treatment planning. Management strategies included staged surgical interventions, space maintenance using 2 × 4 appliances, bite opening, and controlled orthodontic traction with modified biomechanics to minimise the risk of root resorption and interference with adjacent teeth.
resultsFavourable functional and aaesthetic outcomes were achieved in all cases, although certain limitations such as incomplete root development, residual spacing, localised restorative complications, and difficulty in correcting root angulation of dilacerated adjacent teeth were observed.
conclusionsCareful diagnosis using advanced imaging, combined with conservative orthodontic and surgical approaches, can achieve satisfactory functional and esthetic outcomes while minimising complications. Further longitudinal studies are recommended to evaluate long-term stability and optimise treatment protocols.
