Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to make a clear judgement |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to make a clear judgement |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to make a clear judgement |
Blinding of clinical outcomes assessment | Low risk | Quote: "The teeth were evaluated for success or failure based on clinical and radiographic criteria by a blinded investigator" |
Blinding of radiological outcomes assessment | Low risk | Quote: "The teeth were evaluated for success or failure based on clinical and radiographic criteria by a blinded investigator" |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | No missing data |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to make a clear judgement |
