Is ADDM graft practical? A comparative study to evaluate ADDM graft in third molar surgery.
Trial report in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundIt has been outlined that LTM (Lower third molar) extracted from patients in which grinding, cleaning, sterilization & demineralization prove to be highly effective as graft material for filling the alveolar socket of the very same patient. These investigations aim to assess the efficiency of ADDM (Autogenous Demineralized Dentin Matrix) graft in third molar extraction sockets. PURPOSE: To check the effectiveness of ADDM as graft material in extraction socket by evaluating pain, swelling, trismus, PD (Probing Depth) and bone density. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE: A prospective, randomized control trial was conducted at our institute. The patients were haphazardly, non-blindly alienated into two groups. Group A (45 patients) on the test side after LTM impaction surgery will receive ADDM graft material with bio-collagen membrane and Group B (45 patients) on the control side underwent LTM removal, with the alveolus left to heal conventionally by forming a blood clot.
resultsSwelling showed significant difference between CG (Control Group) and TG (Test Group), the intergroup comparison of change in the swelling scores at seventh post-operative day (from pre-op level) was significantly higher in the TG (117.35) as compared to the CGs (115.92) (p = 0.001). A statistically significant difference in probing depth was also noted between the two groups, CG 4.46 ± 1.252 & TG 2.52 ± 0.641 in the post-operative examination at three months. In our study radiographical evaluation revealed progressive increase in bone density in TG (135.81 ± 8.73) when compared to CG (121.59 ± 13.83) over a period of three months. Pain and trismus evaluation did not reveal any significant difference between TG & CG.
conclusionThe clinical results of the ADDM graft procedure demonstrate satisfactory outcomes in extraction sockets. The findings of this study highlight the importance of preservation methods in maintaining the periodontal pocket depth distal to the second molar and the remaining alveolar ridge following extraction.
