Periodontal Intervention in Soft Tissue-Embedded Orthodontic Appliances: A Multidisciplinary Healing Approach and Case Series.
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
Embedding of orthodontic appliances within the oral mucosa represents an infrequent but clinically relevant complication that may result in pain, mucosal injury, and functional discomfort if not identified early. This report describes two cases managed in the Department of Periodontology. The first case involved a 17-year-old female presenting with a submerged orthodontic mini-implant in the maxillary right second premolar region associated with pain during mastication and speech. The second case involved a 22-year-old female with partial mucosal embedding of the U-shaped loop of a transpalatal arch in the palatal tissue. In both patients, the soft tissue-embedded appliances were surgically retrieved under local anesthesia, followed by satisfactory healing within 10-15 days. These cases highlight the importance of periodic monitoring of orthodontic appliances and demonstrate the critical role of the periodontist in the multidisciplinary management of orthodontic complications.
