Multidisciplinary treatment combined with a modified apically positioned flap technique for generalized stage III grade C periodontitis: A five-year follow-up case report.
Article in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
rationaleThe management of patients with generalized stage III grade C periodontitis involves complex considerations, particularly in cases of inadequate peri-implant keratinized mucosa. We present a case study highlighting the multidisciplinary management of periodontitis and the feasibility of a modified apically positioned flap procedure to increase the width of the keratinized mucosa at the implant site during the second stage of implant surgery. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 45-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a 4-year history of tooth mobility that caused difficulty chewing and bleeding gums when brushing. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with generalized stage III grade C periodontitis.
interventionsThe patient underwent a initial periodontal therapy, periodontal surgery, endodontic treatment, implant treatment, prosthodontic treatment, soft tissue augmentation procedures during the second stage of implant surgery, and supportive periodontal therapy. OUTCOMES: The patient showed a healthy periodontal status and stable occlusal function after 5 years of follow-up. LESSONS: Multidisciplinary management of generalized stage III grade C periodontitis requires full consideration of systematic periodontal therapy, personalized treatment planning, and patient compliance; in particular, a modified apically positioned flap procedure may serve as an option for soft tissue augmentation at the dental implant site.
