Table 1. | The focus question development according to the PICOS study design |
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Problem (P) | Non-standardize extraction sockets |
| Intervention (I) | A simple decision tree of indications and reasons for socket augmentation |
| Comparison (C) | Comparison of extraction sockets based on preservation/augmentation necessity |
| Outcome (O) | No decision tree for socket preservation/augmentation necessity in aesthetic zone was found |
| Study design (S) | Randomized controlled trial |
| Focus question | What are the indications for socket preservation/augmentation procedures based on separate clinical and radiographic extraction socket parameters or organized into classification system, in aesthetic and non-aesthetic zones immediately after tooth extraction? |
+ = low risk; N/A = unclear risk; - = high risk. |
