A 3D micro-CT assessment of composition and structure of bone tissue after vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation using CAD/CAM-customized titanium mesh.
Trial report in Clinical oral implants research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 date, no studies have exploited micro-CT in humans to evaluate bone morphology and structure after bone augmentation with CAD/CAM-customized titanium mesh, in mandible and maxilla. The aim of this study was to assess the composition and microstructure of bone biopsy through micro-CT analysis. MATERIALS AND
methodsBone augmentation at both maxillary and mandible sites was performed on 30 patients randomly treated with customized mesh, either alone (M-) or covered with resorbable membrane (M+), in both cases filled 50:50 with autogenous bone and xenograft. After 6 months, biopsies were taken and micro-CT was performed on consecutive 1-mm-thick VOIs from coronal to apical side, measuring tissue volumes, trabecular thickness, spacing, and number.
resultsIn both groups, irrespective of membrane use, bone tissue (M-: 29.76% vs. M+: 30.84%) and residual graft material (M-: 14.87% vs. M+: 13.11%) values were similar. Differences were site-related (maxillary vs. mandibular) with higher percentage of bone tissue and trabecular density of low-mineralized bone and overall bone in the mandible.
conclusionsThe composition and structure of bone tissue, as assessed by micro-CT after alveolar ridge augmentation using CAD/CAM-customized titanium meshes, showed similar features regardless of whether a collagen membrane was applied.
