Subepithelial connective tissue graft (palate) at implant placement vs No augmentation

Aesthetic preference evaluated by the patient (split-mouth design studies) · Partially edentulous patients receiving posterior mandibular implants

Subepithelial connective tissue graft (palate) at implant placement led to lower patient preference (aesthetics evaluated by patients) compared with no augmentation; GRADE not reported.

RDP with I-bar clasps / mesial rests vs RDP with circumferential clasps / distal rests

Change in abutment tooth mobility at 60 months · Partially edentulous patients treated with a removable dental prosthesis (RDP)

RDP with I-bar clasps / mesial rests showed no clear difference in change in abutment tooth mobility at 60 months compared with RDP with circumferential clasps / distal rests; GRADE not reported.

Adjunctive local antibiotic (8.5% doxycycline hyclate, Atridox) added to manual debridement vs Manual debridement plus chlorhexidine irrigation/gel

Change in probing attachment level (PAL) · People with at least one dental implant affected by perimplantitis

Adjunctive local antibiotic (8.5% doxycycline hyclate, Atridox)… led to higher change in probing attachment level (PAL) compared with manual debridement with chlorhexidine (no antibiotic); GRADE not reported.
