Retrospective assessment of dental implant-related perforations of relevant anatomical structures and inadequate spacing between implants/teeth using cone-beam computed tomography.

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
objectivesTo assess the prevalence of dental implant-related perforations of relevant anatomical structures and inadequate spacing between the implant and the adjacent tooth or implant, and their association with anatomical location, implant dimension, thread exposure, and presence of graft, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsCBCT scans of patients with implants were retrospectively assessed regarding the presence of implant-related perforation of adjacent anatomical structures, and inadequate mesial and distal spacing between the implant and the adjacent tooth/implant (i.e., < 1 mm or < 3 mm, respectively). Implants were classified according to anatomical location, dimensions, thread exposure, and the presence of graft (i.e., bone graft or bone substitutes). Prevalence of perforations and inadequate spacing was compared among the different implant classifications (Chi-squared test). Significance level was set at 5%.
resultsA total of 1109 implants were assessed, out of which 369 (33.3%) presented perforation of adjacent structures. Prevalence of perforations in the maxilla (43.5%) was higher than in the mandible (11.3%). Inadequate spacing was found in 18.2% of the mesial and distal measurements, which was more prevalent in the maxilla (p < 0.001). Implants perforating adjacent structures or placed with inadequate spacing presented higher prevalence of thread exposure (p < 0.001). No significant difference was found between the presence of perforations or inadequate spacing and presence of graft (p > 0.05).
conclusionsImplant-related perforations of relevant anatomical structures and inadequate spacing between the implant and the adjacent tooth/implant are relatively prevalent and more common in the maxilla. Both are associated with threads exposure. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Information on dental implant-related perforations and inadequate spacing can assist dental surgeons in pre-surgical planning.
