Minimizing risk of customized titanium mesh exposures - a retrospective analysis.

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
backgroundRecommendations for soft tissue management associated with customized bone regeneration should be developed. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new protocol for customized bone augmentation in a digital workflow.
methodsThe investigators implemented a treatment of three-dimensional bone defects based on a customized titanium mesh (Yxoss CBR®, ReOSS, Filderstadt, Germany). Patients and augmentation sites were retrospectively analysed focussing on defect regions, demographic factors, healing difficulties and potential risk factors. An exposure rate was investigated concerning surgical splint application, A®- PRF and flap design.
resultsIn total, 98 implants could be placed. Yxoss CBR® was removed after mean time of 6.53 ± 2.7 months. Flap design was performed as full flap preparation (27.9%), full flap and periosteal incision (39.7%), periosteal incision (1.5%), poncho/split flap (27.9%) and rotation flap (2.9%). In 25% of the cases, exposures of the meshes were documented. Within this exposure rate, most of them were slight and only punctual (A = 16.2%), like one tooth width (B = 1.5%) and complete (C = 7.4%). A®- PRF provided significantly less exposures of the titanium meshes (76.5% no exposure vs. 23.5% yes, p = 0.029). Other parameters like tobacco abuse (p = 0.669), diabetes (p = 0.568) or surgical parameters (mesh size, defect region, flap design) did not influence the exposure rate. Surgical splints were not evaluated to reduce the exposure rate (p = 0.239). Gender (female) was significantly associated with less exposure rate (78,4% female vs. 21.6% male, p = 0.043).
conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that the new digital protocol including patient-specific titanium meshes, resorbable membranes and bone grafting materials was proven to be a promising technique. To improve soft tissue healing, especially A®-PRF should be recommended.
