Long-term outcome of combined orthograde and surgical management of perforating internal root resorption using a bioceramic repair material: an eight-year CBCT-documented case report.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPerforating internal root resorption (IRR) represents a rare and challenging endodontic condition that may require a combined nonsurgical and surgical approach for effective management.
methodsA 24-year-old female presented with pain on biting and discoloration of the maxillary right lateral incisor. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) confirmed perforating IRR associated with apical periodontitis. Initial non-surgical disinfection was performed using calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament. Persistent intracanal exudation necessitated surgical intervention under an operating microscope, during which the defect was sealed with EndoSequence Root Repair Material (ERRM) Putty and covered with a bone graft. Final obturation was completed using a hydraulic condensation technique with a bioceramic sealer.
resultsAt the eight-year follow-up, the tooth remained functional and asymptomatic. Both periapical radiographs and CBCT imaging demonstrated complete osseous healing and restoration of normal trabecular bone pattern.
conclusionThis case illustrates that perforating IRR may be successfully managed using a combined non-surgical and surgical approach guided by CBCT and supported by bioactive bioceramic materials, with stable clinical and radiographic outcomes documented over an eight-year follow-up period.
