The focus question development according to the PICOS study design

Component Description
Problem (P) Bone resorption after tooth extraction

Intervention (I) Filling alveolar socket with regenerative biomaterial

Comparison (C) Comparison between efficiency of different biomaterials

Outcome (O) Different dimensional changes of alveolar bone

Study design (S) Random controlled trial

Focus question What biomaterials in combination with stem cells and growth factors are used for socket preservation after the tooth extraction and which of those show the best results regarding alveolar dimensional changes and quality of newly formed bone?
