Investigation of Morphological Changes of the Soft Tissue in the Aesthetic Zone: A 3D Virtual Analysis after Conventional Tooth Extraction and Benex
Article in Dentistry journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPostoperative resorption of hard and soft tissues occurs as a consequence of tooth extraction. The Benex
methodsPostoperative intraoral scans were superimposed after surgery (t0), after 7 days (t1), after 14 days (t2), after 30 days (t3), after 60 days (t4), and after 90 days (t5) within the two groups (study n = 14, control n = 16), and defined regions of interest (ROIs) (1-8) and volume changes were analyzed. In addition, the influence of gingival thickness and the thickness of the labial cortical plate was investigated.
resultsThe greatest decrease in volume was observed in both groups in ROI3, although there was no significant difference observed between the groups. In the presence of an adjacent tooth, there was less volume loss in the affected ROIs (1, 2 and 7, 8). The thickness of the gingiva and the bony lamella did not significantly influence the change in volume.
conclusionsDue to the small cohort, the results are limited, and the hypothesis is rejected.
