Clinical Success Rates of Dental Implants with Bone Grafting in a Large-Scale National Dataset.
Article in Journal of functional biomaterials, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical success outcomes and risk factors associated with dental implants placed with simultaneous bone augmentation in a large-scale, real-world cohort.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 158,824 implants, including 45,715 Dental Bone Grafts, placed between 2014 and 2022 within a national healthcare network. Multivariate Generalized Estimating Equations were utilized to assess the impact of demographic, anatomical, and procedural variables on implant failure.
resultsThe augmented cohort demonstrated a high clinical success rate of 97.83% (2.17% failure), statistically comparable to the general implant population. Failures were predominantly early (<1 year), accounting for 70% of losses. Significant independent risk factors included immediate implant placement (3.08% failure vs. 2.07% for delayed), male gender, and maxillary location. Notably, low socioeconomic status (SES) emerged as a significant predictor, with a failure rate of 3.07% compared to 2.06% in high-SES groups.
conclusionsSimultaneous bone augmentation is a predictable modality that does not inherently increase implant failure risk, supporting the stabilization hypothesis. However, failure is modulated by specific variables. The identification of lower SES, male gender, and immediate placement as significant risk indicators highlights the necessity for personalized risk assessment and targeted protocols to optimize outcomes in augmented sites.
