Flapless Guided Dental Implant Surgery in a Systemically Compromised Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The use of surgical guides in implant treatment offers several advantages, including reduced surgery time, flapless procedures, and enhanced precision and reliability in implant placement. By utilizing tomography and scanning technologies, a patient's complete anatomical structure can be transferred into software in three spatial planes. This allows for the three-dimensional printing of surgical guides that ensure the accurate execution of the procedure. Traditional techniques and planning using two-dimensional imaging are now considered outdated compared to the precision offered by guided surgery. In this study, we present the case of a patient with multiple systemic health complications whose primary concern was the absence of teeth 15 and 35. For this patient, flap surgeries were contraindicated. Given the effectiveness of surgical guides, this method was chosen for planning and treatment. Single Implacil implants were successfully placed. Despite the limitations of this case report, the use of guided surgery proved to be more precise and effective in determining the location, direction, and inclination of the implants while simultaneously enhancing patient comfort.
