Deliberate practice: The cornerstone of microsurgical therapy.
Article in Clinical advances in periodontics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEffective use of the operating microscope in periodontal and implant procedures demands the acquisition of specialized skills. Clinicians must adapt to high-magnification workflows, requiring exceptional precision through bimanual instrumentation. This perspective article aims to explore the principles of deliberate practice by outlining its defining components and core characteristics and providing actionable guidance for the implementation of this approach.
methodsA conceptual analysis was conducted to evaluate the role of incorporating core principles of deliberate practice as a mechanism for developing and enhancing skills within microsurgical training workflows.
resultsAdopting deliberate practice can significantly enhance skill development and accelerate the proficiency timeline in advanced periodontal and implant-related clinical protocols.
conclusionsThe essential components of deliberate practice are identified and defined, and practicable frameworks for applying this approach are illustrated. Its benefits and limitations are also discussed. KEY POINTS: Deliberate practice is a structured-goal oriented approach designed to maximize skill development. Continuous feedback serves to refine methodologies, prevent stagnation, and ensure execution aligns with expert benchmarks of excellence. Sustained effort and mental engagement are the outcomes of consistency, dedication, and perseverance through periods of intense focus. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: An operating microscope is used in periodontal and dental implant related procedures mainly because it allows dentists to see small details with great accuracy. Working under high magnification demands special training since small hand movements must be extremely precise. In order to overcome these challenges, there is a training approach called deliberate practice that can make the process more effective. This article explains how this method helps dentists improve their microsurgical skills, ultimately leading to better care and outcomes for patients.
