Staged Implant Rehabilitation Following Endodontic Treatment Failure of a Maxillary First Molar: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Dental implants represent a reliable treatment option for replacing teeth with unfavorable prognoses due to failed endodontic treatment. Maintaining alveolar ridge dimensions after extraction is essential to achieve optimal implant positioning and long-term restorative success. This case report describes the radiographic progression of treatment in a 46-year-old male patient with a failed endodontically treated maxillary left first molar (tooth #14). Radiographic evaluation demonstrated findings consistent with endodontic treatment failure, and extraction was recommended due to the tooth's unfavorable long-term prognosis. Following atraumatic extraction, socket preservation was performed using a bone grafting procedure to maintain alveolar ridge dimensions. After approximately three months of healing, a dental implant was placed in the grafted site. An additional three-month healing period was allowed to facilitate osseointegration. A scan body was subsequently utilized to obtain a digital implant impression for the fabrication of the definitive restoration. Three weeks later, an implant-supported crown was delivered. Serial radiographs documented the treatment sequence from endodontic failure through extraction, socket preservation, implant placement, digital impression acquisition, and delivery of the definitive implant-supported restoration. This report highlights the radiographic progression of staged implant rehabilitation following extraction of a failed endodontically treated maxillary left first molar. The educational value of this report lies in demonstrating how socket preservation can facilitate predictable delayed implant placement and successful restorative rehabilitation through a systematic, staged treatment approach.
