Periodontal health and orthodontic mini-screws: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of periodontal & implant science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07052747 (Periodontal Health and Orthodontic Mini-screws), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
purposeOrthodontic mini-screws (OMSs) are widely used as temporary anchorage devices in orthodontics because they facilitate complex tooth movements without relying on patient compliance. Despite their advantages, concerns have been raised regarding potential adverse effects on periodontal health. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the relationship between OMS and periodontal parameters in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
methodsA total of 132 patients with 160 OMS placements were included. Periodontal parameters, including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), recession depth, bleeding on probing (BOP), mucosal discomfort (MD), mucosal redness (MR), keratinized tissue width (KTW), supracrestal tissue height, and transmucosal soft tissue thickness, were evaluated at site-specific and full-mouth levels 3 months post-placement.
resultsSignificant differences were identified between site-level and full-mouth periodontal measurements, with site-level evaluations revealing higher PI, GI, PD, and BOP values (
conclusionsThese results highlight significant biomechanical and inflammatory interactions between OMS and periodontal tissues, emphasizing the need for meticulous mini-screw placement and careful periodontal monitoring. The findings also underscore the importance of individualized treatment plans that consider periodontal conditions to optimize OMS stability and minimize periodontal risks.
