Timing of Dental Implant Placement: The Past, the Present, the Future.
Review in Journal of periodontal research, 2026. 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
The optimal timing of dental implant placement remains one of the most debated topics in implant dentistry. Patients increasingly demand fast tooth replacement with minimal morbidity and cost; however, clinicians must balance these expectations with biological limitations and long-term treatment success. Historically, the decision of when to place an implant has reflected the evolution of scientific knowledge, technological advances, and surgical confidence shifting from delayed and cautious protocols to immediate and patient specific strategies. This perspective article, from a clinical standpoint, highlights the evolution of implant timing concepts, current evidence-based practices, and explores emerging trends that may redefine future paradigms. Today, timing has become a critical factor in implant therapy. "Time truly is everything". The art lies in knowing when to accelerate treatment to meet patient requests and when to slow down to respect biological healing achieving the delicate balance between efficiency and predictability.
