“…The list of excluded articles and the reasons for exclusion are available in Appendix . The final selection consisted of 25 articles, for a total of 22 studies (Aimetti, Romano, Griga, & Godio, ; Alissa, Esposito, Horner, & Oliver, ; Araujo, da Silva, de Mendonca, & Lindhe, ; Barone, Ricci, Tonelli, Santini, & Covani, ; Barone, Toti, Menchini‐Fabris, et al., ; Barone, Toti, Quaranta, et al., ; Cardaropoli, Tamagnone, Roffredo, & Gaveglio, , ; Cardaropoli, Tamagnone, Roffredo, Gaveglio, & Cardaropoli, ; Festa, Addabbo, Laino, Femiano, & Rullo, ; Fiorellini et al., ; Guarnieri et al., ; Iasella et al., ; Iorio‐Siciliano et al., ; Jung et al., ; Karaca, Er, Gulsahi, & Koseoglu, ; Kotsakis, Salama, Chrepa, Hinrichs, & Gaillard, ; Madan et al., ; Pang et al., ; Pelegrine, da Costa, Correa, & Marques, ; Rasperini, Canullo, Dellavia, Pellegrini, & Simion, ; Schneider et al., ; Spinato, Galindo‐Moreno, Zaffe, Bernardello, & Soardi, ; Temmerman et al., ; Thalmair, Fickl, Schneider, Hinze, & Wachtel, ). A flow chart that depicts this selection process is displayed in Figure .…”

“…Eighteen of the selected RCTs had a parallel arms design, while four were conducted following a split‐mouth design (Festa et al., ; Karaca et al., ; Madan et al., ; Temmerman et al., ). Of the 18 trials with a parallel arms design, seven had more than one experimental group (Barone, Toti, Menchini‐Fabris, et al., ; Barone, Toti, Quaranta, et al., ; Fiorellini et al., ; Guarnieri et al., ; Jung et al., ; Kotsakis et al., ; Schneider et al., ; Thalmair et al., ).…”

“…Eight studies did not recruit smokers (Aimetti et al., ; Festa et al., ; Iorio‐Siciliano et al., ; Pang et al., ; Pelegrine et al., ; Rasperini et al., ; Spinato et al., ; Temmerman et al., ), while 10 studies allowed for the inclusion of current smokers (Alissa et al., ; Barone et al., ; Barone, Toti, Menchini‐Fabris, et al., ; Barone, Toti, Quaranta, et al., ; Cardaropoli et al., , , ; Guarnieri et al., ; Iasella et al., ; Jung et al., ; Kotsakis et al., ; Schneider et al., ; Thalmair et al., ), of which four did not report specific data on the distribution of smokers per group (Barone et al., ; Cardaropoli et al., , , ; Iasella et al., ; Kotsakis et al., ). In four studies, whether smokers were recruited was not reported (Araujo et al., ; Fiorellini et al., ; Karaca et al., ; Madan et al., ). History of periodontitis was not reported in any of the selected studies.…”

“…Reasons for extraction were reported in 10 trials (Aimetti et al., ; Alissa et al., ; Araujo et al., ; Barone et al., ; Barone, Toti, Quaranta, et al., ; Cardaropoli et al., , , ; Jung et al., ; Karaca et al., ; Schneider et al., ; Spinato et al., ; Thalmair et al., ) and included a wide variety of indications, mainly crown or root fractures, extensive caries, endodontic failure, orthodontic and periodontal. Regarding socket anatomy, 12 studies included single‐rooted teeth exclusively (Aimetti et al., ; Araujo et al., ; Festa et al., ; Fiorellini et al., ; Iasella et al., ; Jung et al., ; Karaca et al., ; Madan et al., ; Pelegrine et al., ; Schneider et al., ; Spinato et al., ; Temmerman et al., ; Thalmair et al., ), only one study included only multi‐rooted teeth (Rasperini et al., ), eight studies included a mix of single‐ and multi‐rooted sites in all treatment groups (Alissa et al., ; Barone et al., ; Barone, Toti, Menchini‐Fabris, et al., ; Barone, Toti, Quaranta, et al., ; Cardaropoli et al., , , ; Guarnieri et al., ; Iorio‐Siciliano et al., ; Kotsakis et al., ), and one study did not report specific details on this parameter (Pang et al., ). Thirteen studies included extraction sites that did not present significant bone damage (Aimetti et al., ; Araujo et al., ; Barone et al., ; Barone, Toti, Menchini‐Fabris, et al., ; Cardaropoli et al., , , ; Festa et al., ; Iasella et al., ; Kotsakis et al., ; Madan et al., ; Pelegrine et al., ; Rasperini et al., ; Spinato et al., ; Thalmair et al., ), while only three studies reported the inclusion of sites presenting extensive a...…”
