Usage of Bone Replacement Grafts in Periodontics and Oral Implantology and Their Current Levels of Clinical Evidence — A Systematic Assessment

“…At the end, 189 articles were included. Overall, 55 studies were categorized at level I 12–66 . Twenty‐six were level II, 67–92 nine were level III, 93–101 46 were level IV S1‐S46 (see references in http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_supapp1.pdf and http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_supapp2.pdf in online Journal of Periodontology ), and 53 were level V S47‐S99 (see references in http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_supapp1.pdf and http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_supapp3.pdf in online Journal of Periodontology ).…”

“…Some of these studies used more than one type of xenograft and/or other types of grafts (see http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_suptab3.pdf in online Journal of Periodontology ). Twenty‐four 13,16,17,27,35‐50,54,64‐66 of 90 studies were considered level I of evidence. These level I studies are summarized in http://www.joponline.org/doi/suppl/10.1902/jop.2016.150512/suppl_file/150512_suptab4.pdf in online Journal of Periodontology .…”

“…Of the 55 level I studies, four studies did not have numerical statistical analysis 15,32,38,53 . Of the 51 level I studies that included numerical statistical analysis, 18 did not have statistical significance 12,13,19,21,23,29,31,36,37,40,44,51,54,59,60,62,63,65 …”

“…In most of these studies, specific products †† ‡‡ §§ ‖‖ were used in sequential order. From the level I studies selected, xenografts were mainly used for treatment of supra‐ and infrabony defects 16,42‐46 and sinus augmentation 13,17,35,37,47,49,54,64,66 . There were also studies on postextraction grafting 27 , 38 , 41 and GBR 36,39,48,65 Furthermore, there were single studies involving furcation treatment 40 and peri‐implantitis treatment 50 .…”

Maxillary Sinus Lift Surgery Techniques: A Literature Review.

“…HA / TCP particles are becoming an increasingly important matrix for bone reconstruction and tissue engineering. Since its mineral content, density and three-dimensional properties are especially suitable for the microenvironment of the bone, the radiographic evaluation of new bone formation is difficult [51][52][53][54][55][56][57] .…”
