Comparison of Stock and Customized Implant Abutments Regarding Peri-Implant Health : Comparison of Stock and Customized Implant Abutments.
Article in Galen medical journal, 2024. 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
Background: Dental implants are one of the most predictable treatment options for replacement of the lost teeth. One of the factors affecting the success of an implant, is the health of the periodontium around the implant abutment. Recently, various materials have been used for fabrication of implant abutments. This study aimed to assess early marginal bone loss (MBL) and periodontal parameters around dental implants with titanium stock abutments and customized abutments fabricated by the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to compare their success rate during a 1-year period. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 64 patients whose treatment plan included the stock abutment, and CAD/CAM customized abutment that were randomly selected. All patients underwent a clinical periodontal examination on the day of prosthetic crown delivery, and parallel periapical radiographs were obtained. The probing pocket depth (PPD), papilla bleeding index (PBI), keratinized gingiva width (KGW), plaque index (PI), and modified gingival index (MGI) around dental implants were calculated and recorded. Periodontal and radiographic indices, and MBL were measured at the one-year follow-up. Results: The stock and customized abutments had no significant difference regarding MBL, PPD, PBI, MGI, PI and KGW. The survival rate and success rate were equally 100% in the two groups. Conclusion: The two abutment types had no significant difference in any clinical parameter. Thus, stock or CAD/CAM customized abutments may be selected according to secondary parameters such as software availability, personal preferences, ease of fabrication and cost.
