Digital quantification of soft tissue volumetric changes after scaling and root planning.
Article in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMonitoring the outcome and evolution of periodontitis treatment requires analyzing changes in the periodontium. However, traditional methods for analyzing volumetric changes in periodontal soft tissues have limitations due to their invasiveness or inaccuracy. The aim of this study was to measure the volumetric changes in periodontal tissues following scaling and root planing treatment using digital methods, such as the superimposition of pre- and post-treatment STL files Material and Methods: The study started with an initial periodontal examination and intraoral scanning. Periodontal treatment was then performed, and at the one-month re-evaluation, the same records were repeated. Finally, the clinical data and STL files of pre- and post-treatment scans were compared.
resultsin terms of clinical data, there was a mean decrease in probing depth of 0.34 ± 0.54 mm and a significant decrease in bleeding rate. Digital measurements showed a mean loss in height of 0.196 ± 0.188 mm and width of 0.344 ± 0.338 mm.
conclusionsQuantifying periodontal tissue changes after scaling and root planing was possible by superimposing STL files. Post-treatment gingival tissue shrinkage occurred in both height and width, which was not visible with conventional recordings.
