The osteogenic effect of 3D-printed bone grafting guides in PAOO: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. 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
backgroundPeriodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) effectively increases alveolar bone volume and broadens orthodontic treatment options. However, bone grafting during PAOO faces challenges such as graft displacement, membrane collapse, and insufficient coronal bone regeneration. This study aimed to evaluate whether 3D-printed digital bone grafting guides could improve graft stability and alveolar bone regeneration compared with conventional PAOO.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 10 patients who underwent PAOO surgery were evaluated. Patients were divided equally into GBG (digital guided bone grafting) and Control groups (conventional PAOO). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and periodontal clinical parameters, including probing depth (PD), attachment loss (AL), keratinized gingival width (KW), and gingival biotype, were assessed preoperatively (T0), immediately postoperatively (T1), and at 12 months follow-up (T2). Changes in alveolar bone morphology were analyzed using Mimics software, with data statistically compared using SPSS 25.0.
resultsImmediately postoperatively, the GBG group exhibited significantly greater vertical bone augmentation and horizontal bone augmentation in crown and mid-root areas compared to the control group ([Formula: see text] < 0.05). At the 12-months follow-up, GBG maintained significantly superior vertical bone regeneration and coronal horizontal bone volume, particularly in the coronal third of the alveolar bone ([Formula: see text] < 0.05). Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in KW compared to baseline ([Formula: see text] < 0.05), while PD and AL showed no significant intergroup differences.
conclusionsThe application of 3D-printed bone grafting guides significantly improves graft stability, reduces postoperative bone resorption, and enhances coronal alveolar bone regeneration after PAOO.
