A Minimally Invasive Approach for Immediate Palatal Implant Placement with Osseodensification and Dynamic Navigation: Two Case Reports.
Article in Cureus, 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
Implant placement in the posterior maxilla is challenging due to low bone density and sinus pneumatization, which limits bone height. Indirect sinus elevation with osseodensification (OD) can compact trabecular bone while preserving sinus integrity and shortening overall treatment time. Dynamic navigation (DN) enhances real-time accuracy and predictability, and palatal positioning may help preserve the three-dimensional soft-tissue architecture.Two patients underwent immediate implant placement in the posterior palatal bone following extraction combined with indirect sinus floor elevation using OD burs and DN. Immediate provisionalization was performed in both cases to support soft tissue architecture, yielding predictability with reduced morbidity and overall treatment time.The combination of palatal implant placement, indirect sinus elevation by OD, and DN followed by immediate provisionalization offers a minimally invasive, predictable, and time-efficient strategy for rehabilitating challenging posterior maxillary sites. Although promising, validation through larger studies with longer follow-up is needed.
