Long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of a bone-level, 2-piece, internal connection implant system with coronal microthreads over 10 years of follow-up: a retrospective clinical study.
Article in Journal of periodontal & implant science, 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
purposeThis study retrospectively investigated the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of a bone-level type, 2-piece, internal connection dental implant system characterized by coronal microthreads.
methodsA total of 872 implants placed in 284 patients were selected from 1,845 implants placed in 691 patients by experienced periodontists at Yonsei University Dental Hospital. These selected implants had been followed up for over 10 years and were included in the present study. A statistical evaluation of implant survival and treatment success, based on changes in marginal bone levels, was conducted using electronic records and consecutively taken radiographs.
resultsOver a follow-up period of 12.3±2.0 years, 830 of the 872 implants remained intact, yielding a cumulative survival rate of 95.2% at the implant level and 88.4% at the patient level. The cumulative treatment success rates, characterized by marginal bone loss of less than 2 mm, stood at 87.0% for implants and 76.1% for patients. Among the 830 surviving implants, 113 fixtures were classified as ailing, with an average marginal bone loss of 4.09±1.44 mm. Cox regression analysis revealed that implants 8 mm in length or shorter were significantly more likely to fail or experience pathologic marginal bone resorption, with hazard ratios of 3.71 and 2.00, respectively (
conclusionsThe survival and treatment success of the investigated microthreaded, bone-level, 2-piece, internal connection implants were acceptable over a follow-up period exceeding 10 years. However, shorter dental implants exhibited a higher propensity for failure and excessive marginal bone loss.
