Zygomatic implant guided rehabilitation based on inverted support technique: a pilot study.
Article in European review for medical and pharmacological sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveZygomatic implant insertion surgery is a challenging operation. The primary aim of this pilot study was to assess the accuracy of EZgoma® "Inverted Support Technique" for the zygomatic implant-guided surgery. Secondly, any factors which may affect the surgical protocol results, such as implant-prosthetic virtual plan, surgical model matching, intra or post-operative complications, time rate between surgical procedure and prosthetic loading, zygomatic implant survival rate and implant success rate were analyzed. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 20 zygomatic implants were placed in atrophic maxillae of 5 patients. The final position of zygomatic implants after surgery was compared with the pre-operative digitally planned position. The analyzed parameters were zygomatic implants apex and base mean linear distance and zygomatic implants axis mean angular deviation.
resultsThe comparison was provided by a tridimensional imaging elaboration platform, provided by Geomagic, which allows the overlay of virtual plan STL data with post-operative control CT scan DICOM data. As a result, all the mean values regarding the 20 placed zygomatic implants respected the universally agreed values in guided zygomatic implant surgery: the mean linear distance of the implant platform and of the implant apex were 1.59 mm and 1.62 mm respectively, while the mean angular deviation of the implant axis was equal to 1.74°. One of the patients had mucositis as a post-operative complication. In one patient the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus fractured, and in one zygomatic implant primary stabilization was not achieved. No other complications occurred.
conclusionsAs a conclusion, data obtained from this study suggested that guided zygomatic implant rehabilitation may represent a reliable, efficient, rapid, ergonomic, and safe surgical protocol, however further investigations are needed.
