“…27,28 A quantitative description of the total number of studies included in the systematic review, along with the total sample size and complications associated with the SST, are presented in Table 2. In 19 human clinical studies, [6][7][8][9][10][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]29,30 426 patients were given 510 implants with SST, with 11 implant failures and 23 implants having other complications like exposure, infections, peri-implantitis and migration. In 2 animal histological studies, 27,28 10 dogs were given 48 implants with SST and a 100% success rate was obtained.…”

The (in)adequacy of translational research in dentistry

“…Figure 2 reports studies on the socket‐shield technique published in chronological order. It is interesting to note that 19 of the case reports and case series () were published having only three animal experiments () as data to support the decision of performing these clinical studies. Furthermore, a case series () on this technique, conducted in three private practices between January 2006 and December 2016, reported 10‐year follow‐up data.…”
