Comparative anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis efficiency of Triphala versus chlorhexidine mouthwashes in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aim of this systematic review is to comparatively evaluate the Triphala and chlorhexidine mouthwashes efficacies in decreasing plaque formation and gingivitis in children. With a priori-set inclusion and exclusion criteria's and relevant MeSH terms, the PubMed, Cochrane and Ovid SP were scrutinized from the year 1980 to April 2023 for prospective articles. Outcomes evaluated were plaque formation and gingivitis through Plaque index and Gingival index.

Burning measure for burning mouth syndrome: a systematic review.

This current systematic review aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the effect of topical capsaicin application to alleviate symptoms related to burning mouth syndrome (BMS). PubMed, Ovid SP, and Cochrane were searched from 1980 to 2022 to identify relevant literature. A total of 942 titles (PubMed, 84; Ovid SP, 839; Cochrane, 19) was retrieved, of which 936 were excluded based on the title and abstract.

Effect of Sensory Adapted Dental Environment (SADE) on physiological and behavioral parameters related to stress and anxiety in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) undergoing dental treatment: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Children with autism exhibit a higher general and dental anxiety, due to altered sensory sensibilities.

Aim: This current systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Sensory adapted dental environment (SADE) over regular dental environment (RDE) on behavioral, physiological stress and overt anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).

Materials And Methods: Prospero registered (CRD42024508336).

Effectiveness of picture-based interventions of toothbrush training on improvement of oral hygiene in children with autism spectrum disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Children with autism exhibit a higher risk of poor oral health due to difficulty in the performance of simple tasks such as toothbrushing.

Aim: This current systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Picture based intervention of toothbrush training on improvement of oral hygiene in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospero registered (CRD42023450156). PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus databases are searched from years January 1, 1980 to August 1, 2023 using broad search terms (brush) AND (autism).

Prevalence of temporomandibular disorders in juvenile idiopathic arthritis evaluated with diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a very common systemic inflammatory rheumatic disorder affecting the musculoskeletal system in children below 16 years of age. Joint inflammation and tissue destruction is the prime characteristic of the disease. Along with the systemic involvement in the long joints, several studies are mentioning the increased association of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in JIA.

Prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in bleeding disorders: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Background: Haemophilia A, B and von Willebrand disease are the most common bleeding disorders. There is an increased tendency of spontaneous bleeding into joints resulting in intra-articular infection. It is believed that Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) can be affected in a similar manner which can further lead to limited mouth opening and ankylosis.

Background: Adrenaline or clonidine is used as adjuncts in conjunction with lignocaine to improve the depth of local anaesthesia in dental procedures.

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis intends to compare the haemodynamic parameters when clonidine or adrenaline is used in conjunction with lignocaine for third-molar surgical removal.

Data Sources: Cochrane, PubMed and Ovid SP databases were searched using "MeSH" terms .
