1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo help fill the knowledge gaps regarding the long-term effectiveness of peri-implantitis therapy, this retrospective study of soldiers with treated severe periodontitis (stage III gen. / IV) who had been undergoing adherent SPT for at least 20 years aimed to determine the frequency of peri-implantitis and patient-related risk factors for this, as well as the 10-year survival rates of dental implants under peri-implantitis therapy. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe observation period was between 1993 and 2023. All patients were referred by their military dentists for specialist dental training and underwent systematic periodontal therapy. A multi-stage peri-implantitis treatment concept was used.

resultsIn 86 (31%) of 276 patients (total treatment time 23.6 ± 2.8 years, 53.1 ± 20.4 SPT sessions), 296 implant restorations were performed to close gaps or lengthen rows of teeth. In 29 (33%) of the implant patients, peri-implantitis developed on 25% of the implants. As a result, 11% of all implants were lost within 10 years due to peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis led to implant loss in 59% of affected patients and 45% of implants. The survival time of implants lost later was 8.4 ± 6.2 years. Peri-implantitis and implant loss rates increased statistically significantly in stage IV periodontitis as well as in heavy smokers. Patients with implant loss and peri-implantitis had received systemic antibiotics due to periodontitis recurrence statistically significantly more frequently than patients without peri-implantitis and without implants during the ≥ 20-year SPT (p 0.05).

conclusionsBased on the present results, the early extraction of teeth during SPT in patients with treated generalised periodontitis stage III and stage IV plus replacement with implants is not advantageous.
