A CBCT study of changes in temporomandibular joint morphology with immediate implant placement and immediate loaded full-arch fixed dental prostheses.
Article in BMC oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundDental implants are becoming a popular treatment of choice. Immediate implant placement with immediate loaded full-arch fixed dental prostheses (IPILFFDP) presents an attractive solution for edentulous and partially edentulous patients because of its high success rate, reduction in overall treatment time, and improved esthetics. However, whether it can minimize the risk of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) has not been previously studied.
objectiveTo quantitatively evaluate the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology changes before and after IPILFFDP, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
methodsTwelve participants without TMJ symptoms undergoing IPILFFDP were included in the study. Preoperative and 1-year postoperative assessment of CBCT scans were performed on 18 items related to TMJ and vertical dimensions. Mimics software was used for data analysis. T-test, Pearson, and Spearman correlation analyses were performed.
resultsThere were no significant differences in bilateral joints between pre and post IPILFFDP. Compared with pre-treatment CBCT, post-treatment CBCT showed a significant increase in posterior joint space. There was an approximately 2 mm increase in the vertical dimension after IPILFFDP, which is correlated with an increase in the medial joint space.
conclusionsFor patients without TMJ-related signs and symptoms, the IPILFFDP could keep the neuromuscular memory of patient's facial muscles and occlusion, and use adapted centric posture as a guide, which led to more precise restoration of the original jaw position and may shed light in future related clinical studies.
