Reply to Sequence Generation and Allocation Concealment
I would like to thank Dr. Berger for his interest in my article on the evaluation of risk of bias (ROB) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (JEBDP 2015 Dec;15(4):164–70). The goal was to provide dental practitioners with basic concepts of how to evaluate ROB in RCTs. I agree with Dr. Berger that computer-generated sequences for randomization are not equally valid; especially the permuted block design discussed in Dr. Berger's letter has been shown to be prone to bias. Nevertheless, Dr. Berger may be exaggerating the significance of this problem. (Source: The Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice)

Sequence Generation and Allocation Concealment
Faggion1 states that “a method that prevents previous knowledge on the sequence of treatments should be used, such as a list of treatment sequence generated by computer”. This is a baffling statement that may sound good at first, and may go along with equally misguided conventional wisdom, but in point of fact the propagation of this misconception represents a major threat to the integrity of trial quality in general, including in dental studies. The “method” referred to here is sequence generation which, if one is content to use the amply discredited,2–4 Jadad score, as Faggion1 is, might be classified rather bl...
