Association between bone turnover markers and alveolar socket healing rate: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 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 aimed to examine the relationship between bone turnover markers (BTMs) and alveolar socket healing rate, and determine if bone turnover markers may be applied to implant treatment.
methodsThe study included 21 patients (9 men and 12 women; average age, 61.1 ± 9.8 years) who were scheduled to undergo implant treatment after maxillary or mandibular molar extractions. Alveolar bone density was measured immediately after extraction, 2 months later, and 6 months later using the AI-equipped image analysis system. The healing rate was calculated by dividing the change in bone density by the number of days passed. The following bone turnover markers were measured: procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), bone resorption markers I collagen cross-linked N-telopeptide (NTx), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b).
resultsThe alveolar socket healing rate over 6 months did not significantly correlate with each BTM. However, P1NP and NTx did show a significant positive association, while TRACP-5b showed a positive association tendency during the first 2 months following extraction.
conclusionThe bone formation marker (P1NP) and bone resorption markers (NTx and TRACP-5b) were associated with the alveolar socket healing rate in the initial months after extraction. This finding suggests that the early period of alveolar socket healing after extraction might be faster in individuals with a high bone turnover.
