Case report 1 article

A case report is a detailed scholarly description of one patient or a small number of closely related clinical cases. In dentistry it can document an unusual presentation, diagnostic reasoning, treatment sequence, complications or an instructive outcome using clinical images and follow-up where relevant. Case reports are valuable for education and for generating questions that may merit further study, but they cannot establish comparative effectiveness or population-level frequency. Their unit of evidence is the individual clinical case rather than a defined study cohort.
