Influence of gingival color and abutment material on the accuracy of intraoral implant scans: an in vitro study.

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
The study aimed to investigate the influence of different gingival colors and abutment materials on the accuracy of intraoral implant scans. Five maxillary typodonts were used with 4 implants, 2 scan abutments (Mono scanbody-W and Metal scanbody-M) and 5 gingival colors (Light pink-GLP, Dark Pink-GDP, Orange-GOR, Brown-GBR, Purple-GP). Ten scans of each reference model were made with an intraoral scanner (Medit i700) and exported as STL files. Assessment of trueness and precision was conducted with Geomagic 3D analysis software and 3D differences were calculated using the root mean square (RMS) value. Data were statistically analyzed using 2-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni comparison tests (α = 0.05). Significant differences were found among the groups of different gingival colors and abutment materials (p<.05). Regarding trueness, gingival color significantly influenced the RMS values of the scan abutment group of W (p<.001). Significantly lower mean RMS value was obtained in the gingival color group of GDP with mono scanbody (p<.001). Regarding precision, gingival color significantly influenced the RMS values of both scan abutment groups (W and M) (p<.001). Significant difference was found between different abutment materials in the gingival color group of GLP (p<.05). The accuracy of intraoral implant scans was affected by variations in gingival color and abutment material.
