Efficacy of reticulated surgical guide vs. dynamic navigation to prevent periodontal tissue overheating during piezocision using thermography: a randomized pilot clinical trial.
Trial report 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 split‑mouth randomized pilot trial compared two innovative piezocision techniques-reticulated static computer‑guided surgery and dynamic computer‑guided surgery-to assess their effectiveness in preventing tissue overheating.
methodsTen adult patients undergoing accelerated orthodontic treatment received both interventions in different quadrants. Preoperative planning combined cone‑beam computed tomography (CBCT) and optical scanning to align DICOM and STL data. The static technique employed a digitally designed reticulated surgical guide with a plurality of openings, forming a net-like structure, whereas the dynamic technique used a real‑time navigation system. Tissue temperatures were recorded preoperatively, intraoperatively, and immediately postoperatively via an infrared smartphone camera. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to evaluated thermographic differences. A post-hoc power calculation yielded 82.6%.
resultsPre-operative temperatures were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). The lowest intraoperative temperature (23 °C) occurred in the upper premolar region with dynamic guidance, while the highest (50 °C) was observed in the lower molar region using the static guide. Descriptive analysis revealed a maximal postoperative temperature disparity of approximately 10 °C between techniques.
conclusionsDynamic computer‑guided piezocision significantly reduces surface tissue overheating compared to the reticulated static guide by enabling unobstructed irrigation and real‑time feedback, suggesting an alternative associated with lower surface temperature under our protocol forpiezocision procedures. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Dynamic navigation provides an alternative to static guides in corticotomy procedures, in terms of the prevention of tissue burns, by mitigating tissue overheating. This advancement has the potential to enhance patient safety, optimize protocols in accelerated orthodontics, and promote the integration of smartphone‑based thermography in dental procedures.
