Fifty-year follow-up of dens invaginatus treated by nonsurgical and surgical endodontic treatments: a case report.
Article in Restorative dentistry & endodontics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This case report presents a lateral maxillary incisor with dens invaginatus (DI) type IIIb that was treated both nonsurgically and surgically over 50 years. Treatment of teeth with DI can be challenging. Suggested options may include nonsurgical root canal treatment, endodontic surgery, or extraction. In this case report, a 13-year-old patient with a lateral maxillary incisor with DI type IIIb was treated by nonsurgical root canal treatment, modern endodontic surgery, and reoperation over the course of 50 years. There was complete healing at the last follow-up, 11 years after the reoperation. Correct diagnosis and proper treatment using modern endodontic techniques can enable teeth with DI to survive throughout the life span of the patient.
