Presurgical evaluation of bony implant sites using panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomography-influence of medical education.

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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the subjective quality rating of panoramic radiography (PAN) and CBCT in the planning of dental implant procedures by clinicians with different educational backgrounds.
methodsRadiographic images (PAN and CBCT) of 42 patients were examined as follows: the maxillary (MX) anterior region of patients, the MX posterior region of 16 patients and the mandibular (MD) posterior region of 16 patients. These sites were used for planning of dental implant insertion. Data sets were analyzed by examiners with different training backgrounds: three general practitioners (GP), three oral surgeons (OS) and three maxillofacial surgeons (MS). A standardized questionnaire in a standardized setting was answered by participants.
resultsThe majority of participants rated an additional CBCT as "required" (14.0%) or "reasonable" (56.1%). These ratings depended strongly on the area of interest (MX anterior region: 31.1 and 58.9%; MX posterior region: 14.6 and 62.5%; and MD posterior region: 2.8% and 47.9%). MS classified CBCT as required more often than GP and OS (23.8 vs 10.3 and 7.9%; p < 0.001). With the additional information of CBCT, "therapy affecting" ratings were stated high in all groups.
conclusionsEspecially in the anterior and posterior MX, significant subjective benefits for an additional CBCT were seen for planning of dental implant procedures. Participants with fundamental medical education asked for CBCT more often. The results indicate that an improved education in three-dimensional dental radiology is necessary.
