Deep Margin Elevation and Lithium Disilicate Overlay Restoration of an Endodontically Treated Molar: A Case Report.

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
Restoring endodontically treated teeth with deep subgingival margins is challenging due to difficulties in isolation, moisture control, and adhesive cementation. Conventional approaches such as surgical crown lengthening are invasive and may compromise periodontal support. Deep margin elevation (DME) offers a conservative alternative by relocating the cervical margin coronally using composite resin. This case report describes a 38-year-old patient with a repeatedly debonded partial indirect restoration on tooth 47, which had previously undergone endodontic treatment. After removal of the existing restoration and caries removal, a deep occlusoproximal defect with a subgingival cervical margin was identified. DME was performed using a bulk-fill composite resin to reposition the margin supragingivally. The definitive restoration was a lithium disilicate overlay. The procedure appears to offer a conservative approach, preserving dental tissues and periodontal health, and suggests the potential clinical applicability of this technique.
