Customized 3D-Printed Subperiosteal Titanium Implants for Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Atrophic Maxilla in Geriatric Patients: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Severe maxillary atrophy in older individuals poses an obstacle for placement of conventional dental implants, often associated with bone grafting procedures, morbidity, and prolonged healing. Custom-made, 3D-printed subperiosteal titanium implants have emerged as a promising, minimally invasive alternative. So, the aim of the case report study is to explore the success of maxilla atrophy rehabilitation using custom-made subperiosteal implants. The case report of a 72-year-old female with Cawood Class VI atrophy demonstrated exceptional outcomes: 100% survival, a visual analog scale (VAS) score of 9.5/10, and no complications at 12-month follow-up. The subperiosteal implants have numerous advantages in comparison with the conventional bone grafting with the interosseous implant insertion technique, such as a one-step process for atrophic bone in order to improve the treatment plan and reduce the length of the overall required time. Conclusion: Customized 3D-printed subperiosteal implants are a viable and effective treatment option for elderly patients with severe maxillary atrophy, offering high survival rates, good functional outcomes, and high patient satisfaction while avoiding the need for bone grafts.
