Occlusal Contact Changes in Implant-Supported Fixed Prostheses: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of oral rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundImplant-supported prostheses frequently face both mechanical and biological challenges. Although various techniques and principles are employed to manage excessive loads, occlusal contacts often change within 6 months of placement.
objectiveThis review aims to analyse relevant studies to evaluate the changes in occlusal contacts that occur following the placement of superstructures in implant-supported prostheses.
methodsThe protocol was designed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) and registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. Studies were included if their outcomes addressed stress distribution, occlusal force, occlusal contact, occlusal scheme or changes in occlusal time. Non-English articles, case reports, animal experiments, systematic reviews and literature reviews were excluded.
resultsA total of 1867 articles were retrieved through database searches, along with an additional 43 articles identified through manual searches, of which 416 were duplicates. After screening the titles and abstracts, 1367 articles were excluded, and 12 were deemed non-retrievable. The full texts of the remaining 85 articles were independently reviewed by two authors for eligibility, resulting in the exclusion of 77 articles based on the inclusion criteria. Ultimately, eight articles were included in the review.
conclusionImplant-supported crowns gradually approach or surpass the load of natural teeth over time, as evidenced by increased occlusal force, larger contact areas and longer occlusion durations. These findings highlight the need for more accurate and advanced measurement techniques to better understand and manage the long-term changes in occlusion associated with implant-supported crowns.
