Effect of Tribocorrosion on Mechanical Behavior of Titanium Dental Implants: An In Vitro Study.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesPeri-implantitis often necessitates surgical intervention, with implantoplasty being proposed as a decontamination method in resective surgeries. This mechanical cleaning technique aims to halt disease progression by removing bacterial colonies. However, implantoplasty may compromise mechanical properties, reduce corrosion resistance, and lead to cytotoxic effects due to titanium particle release. This study aimed to evaluate the corrosion and mechanical resistance of implantoplasty-treated dental implants, with and without bacterial contamination.
methodsTwenty dental implants were divided into three groups: control (C), implantoplasty (IP), and implantoplasty with bacterial contamination (IPC) using
resultsThe IPC group demonstrated significantly lower fatigue resistance and higher susceptibility to corrosion compared to the control and IP groups. Fatigue life decreased by 21.7%, and corrosion current density (ICORR) increased from 0.025 μA/cm
conclusionsDental implants treated with implantoplasty and exposed to bacterial contamination exhibit significantly reduced mechanical and corrosion resistance. Bacterial activity exacerbates surface vulnerability, leading to titanium loss and pitting corrosion. These findings highlight the clinical implications of bacterial colonization on implantoplasty-treated surfaces.
