Gupta 2014.
Methods | Trial design: randomised, split‐mouth trial Location: not reported Number of centres: not reported Recruitment period: not stated Source of funding: reported, no funding Ethical approval: yes, Institutional Review Board Number of surgeons: not stated |
|
Participants | Inclusion criteria: patients selected were in good general health, having an intrabony defect ≥ 2 mm with PD ≥ 6 mm Exclusion criteria: patients with abnormal platelet count, smokers, and pregnant women Age at baseline: not stated Gender: not stated Smokers: excluded Teeth treated: maxillary and mandibular arch Number randomised (participants/teeth): 10/20 Number evaluated (participants/teeth): 10/20 | |
Interventions | Comparison: PRP/HA versus HA alone Test group: PRP/HA (n = 10) Control group: HA alone (n = 10) Surgical technique: OFD + intrabony defects were treated with HA bone graft in control group and PRP was additionally applied in test group Follow‐up duration: 1 year |
|
Outcomes | Clinical: plaque control record, BOP, PD, and relative attachment level Radiographic: INFRA (size of the defect) Other: none |
|
Notes | Sample size calculation: not reported Radiographs were taken with a bite block for ensuring reproducibility Comparability at baseline: yes, assessed Complications reported: no Dropouts: not reported |

Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Quote: "10 L‐AgP [localized aggressive periodontitis] patients having bilateral intrabony defect ≥ 2 mm and probing depth (PD) ≥ 6 mm were randomly treated either with the PRP/HA graft or HA graft alone" Comment: not sufficient information provided regarding the method of random sequence generation |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Quote: "10 L‐AgP patients having bilateral intrabony defect ≥ 2 mm and probing depth (PD) ≥ 6 mm were randomly treated either with the PRP/HA graft or HA graft alone" Comment: not sufficient information provided regarding the method of allocation concealment |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Impossible to blind the operator given the surgical nature of the treatment |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No information provided |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | It is not reported wether all patients concluded the study or not |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | All outcomes properly reported |
