Study characteristics
Methods Trial design: randomised, parallel‐group trial
Location: Bogota, Colombia
Number of centres: single centre, National University of Colombia, Bogota, Colombia
Recruitment period: April 2012 to October 2015
Funding source: this study was supported by grants from vice‐rectory for research (National University of Colombia), Colgate Palmolive (Colombia), Ariminum Research and Dental Education Centre (Rimini, Italy), and Clinical Research Foundation for the Promotion of Oral Health (Brienz, Switzerland)
Participants Inclusion criteria: patients aged ≥ 18 years, required extraction of non‐molar tooth and committed to replacement with dental implant after 6 months; presence of at least 1 neighbouring tooth
Exclusion criteria: any medication compromising healing; periodontitis; plaque score > 30%; loss of buccal bone at the time of extraction; pregnant women, smoking > 10 cigarettes per day
Age at baseline: mean age of 44 years
Gender: M 10/F 10
Smokers: 2
Teeth extracted: non‐molar teeth
Number randomised (participants/sites): 20/20
Number evaluated (participants/sites): 20/20
Interventions Comparison: ARP (grafting material) versus ARP (grafting material)
Test group A: (n = 10 extraction sockets) demineralised freeze‐dried cortical bone allograft (DFDBA) (600 to 800 µm, Banco de Tejidos Cosme y Damian, Bogota, Colombia) + collagen barrier (Bio‐Gide, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland)
Test group B: (n = 10 extraction sockets) deproteinised bovine bone mineral (DBBM) with 10% porcine collagen (Bio‐Oss Collagen, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen Switzerland) + collagen barrier (Bio‐Gide, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland)
Surgical technique: flap, primary closure
Type of socket: 4‐wall socket
Duration of follow‐up: 6 months
Outcomes Width and height of alveolar ridge, histomorphometric analysis
Method of assessment: periodontal probe, caliper, standardised radiograph, template
Notes Sample size calculation: reported
The sample size was calculated with a power of 80% and an alpha level of 0.05. The calculations were based on previous literature and assumed a difference of 1 mm and standard deviation of 1.3 mm in ridge width. A total of 10 participants per group was required
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Quote: "A randomization table was created electronically in blocks of two patients"
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Insufficient information in the article
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias)
All outcomes Unclear risk Quotes: "The clinical measurements were performed by a different person that was not involved in any other section of the treatments" and "The histological assessments were performed by an operator not involved in any of the other parts"
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)
All outcomes Low risk All data presented
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk All outcomes appear to be reported
Other bias Low risk None detected

ARP = alveolar ridge preservation; F = female; M = male; NSAID = non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs.
