Implant-supported fixed prosthodontic treatment for ectodermal dysplasia: a case report.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundEctodermal dysplasia (ED) often results in congenital tooth agenesis and severe developmental alveolar ridge defects, leading to functional impairments, reduced masticatory efficiency, and psychosocial challenges. Limited local blood supply and rapid bone resorption in ED patients pose significant challenges for predictable implant rehabilitation, highlighting the need for biologically guided, long-term restorative strategies. CASE PRESENTATION: An 18-year-old male patient with hypohidrotic ED (HED) presented with multiple congenitally missing teeth (FDI 12–16, 22–26, 34–35, 42, 44–46) and knife-edge alveolar ridges. Following two years of fixed orthodontic treatment and maxillary sinus augmentation at an external clinic, the patient underwent simultaneous alveolar ridge augmentation with implant placement at our institution. Subsequently, implant-supported fixed prostheses were delivered. Multidisciplinary sequential treatment achieved favorable clinical outcomes (Table 1).
conclusionAt one-year follow-up after final prosthesis placement, all implants demonstrated stable osseointegration, marginal bone loss < 0.5 mm, probing depths < 3 mm, and bleeding on probing < 15%. Masticatory function improved significantly, and PES/WES scores reached clinically acceptable aesthetic levels. This case illustrates the feasibility of a prosthetically guided implant-supported rehabilitation for severe ED-related alveolar ridge defects, using site-specific differential treatment (simultaneous anterior ridge augmentation, delayed posterior implant placement), dual L-PRF-assisted bone and soft tissue healing, and a prosthetic strategy involving reducing the buccolingual width and occlusal contact points of the implant-supported prostheses combined with light occlusal loading, emphasizing the value of individualized treatment planning in patients with developmental alveolar bone deficiency.
