Table 1. | The focus question development according to the PICO study design |
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Population (P) | Patients, older than 18 years and in good general health, requiring the placement of one or more implants in grafted sockets |
| Intervention (I) | Implant placement in grafted sockets |
| Comparison (C) | Implant placement in non-grafted sockets |
| Outcomes (O) |
Primary: implant survival.
Secondary: marginal-bone-level changes (mm), clinical parameters (i.e., bleeding on probing (%), probing depth (mm), occurrence of biological complications (i.e., peri-implant mucositis and/or peri-implantitis), aesthetic outcomes (pink aesthetic score [PES], white aesthetic score [WES], PES/WES, Jemt's score) |
