Management of Soft Tissue Deficiency Around an Anterior Implant Placed During the Adolescent Period: A Case Report of 30 Months Follow-Up.

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
This clinical report describes the interdisciplinary rehabilitation of a 21-year-old male patient who presented with esthetic concerns due to an anterior implant placed during adolescence following traumatic tooth loss. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed the presence of an implant in infraposition at tooth #21, along with vertical and horizontal peri-implant soft tissue deficiencies. The patient underwent two sequential soft tissue augmentation procedures using de-epithelialized gingival grafts to improve the volume and stability of the mucosa. A customized abutment was digitally designed and fabricated, considering the buccal malposition of the implant, and provisionalized to allow soft tissue conditioning. Anodization techniques were employed to minimize the grayish shine-through effect of the titanium abutment. Final restoration was completed using a monolithic zirconia crown, shade-matched using Matisse.AI (LabMatisse, Veenendaal, the Netherlands). This case underscores the challenges associated with implant placement during adolescence and highlights the importance of soft tissue management, abutment customization, and the integration of digital prosthetic workflows to achieve mid-term esthetic and functional success.
