Biomechanical and weibull-based evaluation of bioceramic root filling and coronal restoration designs in apically resorbed premolars.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 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
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of different root canal filling strategies and coronal restoration types on the biomechanical behavior of mandibular premolars with simulated apical external root resorption using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) combined with a two-parameter Weibull-based fracture probability assessment. MATERIALS AND
methodsMTA plug + gutta-percha + composite core and ceramic crown (MTA/GP/CC), MTA full-canal obturation + composite core and ceramic crown (MTA/CC), MTA plug + gutta-percha + hybrid-ceramic endocrown (MTA/GP/ECR), MTA full-canal obturation + hybrid-ceramic endocrown (MTA/ECR), Biodentine plug + gutta-percha + composite core and ceramic crown (B/GP/CC), Biodentine full-canal obturation + composite core and ceramic crown (B/CC), Biodentine plug + gutta-percha + hybrid-ceramic endocrown (B/GP/ECR), Biodentine full-canal obturation + hybrid-ceramic endocrown (B/ECR), and an intact tooth (IT). A 300 N oblique load was simulated for all models.
resultsFEA showed that the highest tensile stress in coronal restorations occurred in the MTA/GP/ECR model, whereas the lowest values were found in the MTA/ECR and B/ECR models. Within root dentin, maximum tensile stress was highest in the B/GP/CC model (0.683 MPa) and lowest in the MTA/ECR configuration (0.534 MPa). At 300 N, Weibull-based system fracture probabilities ranged from 0.0180% to 0.0192% for full-coverage crown (CC) designs and from 0.0157% to 0.0167% for ECR designs. For matched root-filling strategies, ECR configurations showed approximately 13-14% lower relative system fracture probabilities than the corresponding CC configurations.
conclusionsComplete bioceramic obturation combined with a hybrid-ceramic endocrown (ECR) showed a favorable biomechanical profile and the lowest relative Weibull-based system fracture probabilities among the evaluated configurations. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Within this idealized FEA-Weibull framework, ECR restorations combined with full-canal bioceramic obturation showed modestly lower relative system fracture probabilities than matched full-coverage crown configurations. The probabilistic response was dominated by root dentin rather than by direct fracture contributions from the restorative materials.
