Comparison: ARP (grafting material) versus extraction alone Test group (n = 15 extraction sockets). Corticocancellous porcine bone xenograft (Osteobiol Gen‐Os) (mixed granules with a diameter ranging from 250 to 1000 μm + soft cortical membrane (OsteoBiol Lamina) Control group: (n = 15 extraction sockets) extraction alone Surgical technique: flap, primary closure Type of the socket: four‐wall socket Duration of follow‐up: 6 months |

| Risk of bias | ||
| Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
| Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Reported in the article “The test and control sites were randomly selected using a coin toss” |
| Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | No information in the article and the authors did not provide further information |
| Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No information in the article and the authors did not provide further information |
| Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | All data presented |
| Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | All outcomes appear to be detected |
| Other bias | Low risk | None detected |
