Influence of maximum tongue strength on implant stability and marginal bone loss in posterior mandibular implants: a preliminary prospective study.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 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
objectivesThis study examined the impact of maximum tongue strength (MTS) on implant stability, peri-implant bone density, and marginal bone loss (MBL) in the posterior mandible. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty patients (14 males, 16 females) received a total of 37 dental implants in the posterior mandible to support fixed single crowns. MTS was measured anteriorly and posteriorly, then pooled mean used for analysis. Implant stability was measured in implant stability quotient (ISQ) and peri-implant bone density was assessed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) at 3 months post-surgery. Meanwhile the 1-year MBL was evaluated using periapical radiographs. Additionally, age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and implant characteristics were recorded.
resultsAll implants remained functional at 1 year, with a 100% survival rate. The mean MTS was 56.4 ± 10.1 kPa. MTS correlated positively with increased implant stability at 3 months post implant placement (r
conclusionMTS was associated with greater implant stability at 3 months in posterior mandibular implants. As this was a cohort study, no causal inference can be drawn. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Measuring MTS may help clinicians identify patients at higher risk of reduced implant stability, supporting personalized risk assessment and treatment planning.
