Overlap with other reviews

Reviews that include the same primary studies are not independent evidence. Shared counts match studies by PMID, DOI or NCT, and otherwise by author and year (a probable match). Only the non-Cochrane dental reviews have study lists, so overlap with Cochrane reviews is not counted yet.

ElementPlanned (methods)Found (results)
PopulationPatients in good health with surgically manageable oral conditions needing improvement of bone, cementum, soft tissue and/or PDL; adults aged 18 or olderPeriodontal intrabony defects (n=4 RCTs); gingival recession (n=5); alveolar ridge preservation (n=4); guided bone regeneration (n=1); sinus lifting (n=3); dental implants (n=7); third molar extraction and alveolar osteitis (n=6)
InterventionDental surgical treatments using concentrated growth factor (CGF) alone or with other biomaterialsCGF with bone graft (DFDBA or Bio-Oss), CAF or tunnel technique with CGF, CGF membrane, CGF in implants, sinus lift and extraction sockets
ComparisonRegenerative or reparative approaches without CGFBone graft alone, CAF alone, CTG with CAF or tunnel technique, collagen membrane, self-healing, no CGF
OutcomesRestoration of soft and/or hard tissues of the periodontium, tooth structure, alveolar bone or peri-implant tissues, clinical and radiographicPPD, CAL, intrabony defect depth, keratinized gingiva width, gingival thickness, mean root coverage (meta-analysed); other outcomes narrative
Study designsRandomized controlled trials in humans (parallel or split-mouth), English only30 RCTs (8 in meta-analysis)
TimingPublications from July 1, 2013 to July 1, 20233 to 36 months of follow-up (meta-analysed studies: 12 months for intrabony defects, 6 months for gingival recession)
