Effect of Scaling and Root Planing on Surface Characteristics of Different Dental Implant Materials.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: Scaling and root planing (SRP) are non-surgical periodontal treatments used to remove plaque and calculus, essential for maintaining peri-implant health. However, the mechanical action of SRP may affect the surface characteristics of dental implant materials, potentially impacting implant osseointegration and longevity. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 dental implant specimens were categorized into three groups based on the material composition: Group A (Titanium), Group B (Zirconia), and Group C (Polyetheretherketone - PEEK). Each group consisted of 20 specimens. All specimens underwent SRP using a stainless steel curette and ultrasonic scaler. Surface roughness (Ra) was measured before and after treatment using a profilometer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate the surface topography changes. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA and paired t-tests, with a significance level set at Results: The surface roughness (Ra) of all implant materials increased following SRP. Group A (Titanium) showed an increase in roughness from 0.65 μm to 0.85 μm ( Conclusion: Scaling and root planing lead to increased surface roughness and topographical changes in dental implant materials, with PEEK implants being most affected. The findings suggest that while SRP is effective for peri-implant maintenance, care should be taken with material selection as surface alterations may influence implant success rates.
