Article Synopsis
- - Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that can affect health, and this review explored how they connect to oral health in children and adolescents aged 0 to 19.
- - The study included 12 research papers that looked at various ACEs like neglect and violence, finding strong correlations between ACEs and oral health issues, such as toothaches and lower dental service utilization.
- - It was noted that experiencing more than three ACEs led to worse oral health outcomes, but the evidence about these associations was of varying quality, ranging from low to very low.
Objectives: To investigate whether the use of chemo-mechanical carious tissue removal (CMCTR) agents is effective for Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART).
Materials And Methods: Searches were conducted in 6 databases for inclusion of clinical studies. Risk of bias was assessed (RoB 2 and ROBINS-I), a meta-analysis was performed with data from time of carious tissue removal (TCTR), and the certainty of evidence was estimated.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine whether tapered or cylindrical dental implants perform better clinically, addressing the lack of consensus in this area.
- - A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted, involving 18 studies and evaluating various clinical performance metrics like implant survival and marginal bone loss while assessing the risk of bias.
- - The results showed no significant differences in clinical outcomes between tapered and cylindrical implants across several parameters, although some studies had varying levels of bias.
Objective: To analyze, through a systematic review, the effectiveness of educational tools (ETs) in Oral Health Programs (OHPs) for pregnant women in improving their oral status and that of their babies.
Method: Searches were carried out in 5 electronic databases. Randomized (RCTs) and non-randomized clinical trials (CTs) were selected that included pregnant women exposed or not to ETs in OHPs, whose oral health status, in the pre- or postnatal period, or of their babies were verified.
ARE PIT AND FISSURE SEALANTS EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING AND ARRESTING OCCLUSAL CARIES IN PRIMARY AND PERMANENT TEETH? AN OVERVIEW OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS.
J Evid Based Dent Pract
September 2024
Objectives: To compile the evidence from systematic reviews (SRs) about the use of sealants for preventing and arresting pit and fissure occlusal caries in primary and permanent teeth.
Materials And Methods: A search was performed in six databases and gray literature up to May 2023. Systematic reviews (SRs) that included randomized trials (RCTs) and nonrandomized clinical trials (n-RCTs) aiming to answer the PICO-based focused question "are pit and fissure sealants (I) more effective than other interventions, control or no treatment (C) in preventing and arresting occlusal caries (O) in primary and permanent teeth (P)?", were included.
Objective: To overview the literature to answer the following question: "What is the performance of different therapies on wound healing and postoperative discomfort after palatal ASTG removal?"
Methods: SRs that evaluated the wound healing (WH), postoperative pain, bleeding, and analgesic consumption of patients submitted to de-epithelialized/free gingival grafts (FGG) or subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG) removed from the palate were included. The searches were conducted on six white and two gray databases up to December 2023. Methodological quality was evaluated through AMSTAR 2.
Statement Of Problem: The gingival zenith (GZ) influences the line angle position in the emergence profile and the axial inclination of the crown. Irregularities in GZ symmetry and contour have a negative impact on dental esthetics. GZ location is not consistently distal to the crown's long axis; instead, it tends to be more distal in anterior teeth.

Materials And Methods: According to the PICO strategy, six databases and the grey literature were searched to identify randomized (RCT) and non-randomized clinical trials (N-RCT) comparing masticatory function, in terms of masticatory performance and efficiency, and muscle activity as primary outcomes; and patient-reported results (O) in individuals using removable dentures (P) with different occlusal morphologies of artificial teeth (I/C). Masticatory ability, satisfaction with the prosthetic treatment, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) were evaluated as secondary outcomes.
Objective: To identify, qualify and synthesize all studies that assessed if low serum level of 25(OH)D (<50 nmol/L) is associated with dental developmental defects (DDD) in primary teeth.
Materials And Methods: Observational studies or clinical trials were included if measured 25(OH)D serum levels in pregnant women and/or in their children (up to 3 years old) and evaluated the occurrence of DDD in the primary dentition of offspring associated with the low 25(OH)D levels. Literature reviews, case reports, laboratory and/or animals' studies, conference abstracts, letters to the editor, book chapters and clinical protocols were excluded.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate, qualify, and summarize evidence presented in systematic reviews (SR) on treatments for bruxism.
Methods: The overview was conducted using the PICO strategy: children, adolescents, and adults with bruxism (P) were submitted to different treatments (I) compared to other treatments, placebo, or no treatment (C) in order to evaluate incidence, prevalence, and number of episodes of bruxism (O). The search was carried out in six databases and gray literature up to July 2023.
Objective: To conduct a systematic review to determine the global prevalence of HPV in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).
Materials And Methods: Literature was searched through October 2022 in main databases to address the question "What is the global prevalence of Human Papillomavirus in oral and oropharyngeal cancer?" Studies had to identify HPV by PCR, ISH, or p16 immunohistochemistry to be eligible. Quality was assessed using the JBI checklist for prevalence studies.
Aging may increase the risk of maxillofacial and dentoalveolar trauma (MDT). This review assessed global trends in scientific publications on MDT in the elderly. Six databases were searched.

- * Researchers analyzed 1,725 studies but found only four that met eligibility criteria, which were then assessed for bias and confounding factors.
- * The findings indicated that adults with periodontal disease have a 1.38 times higher likelihood of having root caries compared to those without, although the certainty of this evidence is considered very low.
Article Synopsis
- Mouthguards (MGs) are crucial for preventing sports-related facial injuries, and this review analyzes trends in research on MG use and related dental injuries via bibliometric methods.
- A total of 6140 records were reviewed, with 222 studies included, mainly from the U.S. and published in dentistry journals, focusing predominantly on observational studies and the frequency of MG use among athletes.
- The findings highlight the need for more research targeting coaches, dentists, and younger athletes to improve awareness of MGs and reduce traumatic dental injuries in sports.
Background/aims: The level of knowledge about traumatic dental injuries (TDI) of lay people from a national point of view has never been studied and there is currently a lack of validated research instruments on this issue. The present study aims to develop and validate a questionnaire (TDI-Q) to assess the knowledge of lay people about TDI, including participants from the five regions of Brazil.
Material And Methods: TDI-Q was drafted, in Brazilian Portuguese, based on the recommendations of the International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT).
The aim of this study was to develop and analyze the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Version of Lay Person's Social Judgement about Cleft-lip Scale (B-LSojCleft-S). A standardized photograph of a 16-year-old girl was manipulated by using photo editing software, to simulate different cleft-lip situations. The cleft-free image was used as a control.

Article Synopsis
- - This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the link between periodontal disease (PD) and athletic performance in professional athletes, using studies published until April 2022.
- - After reviewing 793 references, only eight studies qualified, and while two showed no correlation between PD and athletic performance, a meta-analysis involving 396 participants indicated a significant association between PD and a self-reported drop in sports performance.
- - The findings suggest that periodontal disease could negatively impact athletes' performance, but more research is necessary to better understand the relationship and assess other influencing factors.
Article Synopsis
- Obesity is a significant public health issue, with food consumption decisions heavily influenced by individual taste perceptions, impacting eating behaviors and body weight.
- The study reviewed various research articles to assess the connection between obesity and taste alterations by analyzing data from multiple electronic databases, resulting in the inclusion of 19 relevant studies.
- Findings indicate that 40% of eligible studies showed a link between obesity and altered taste perceptions, with most studies demonstrating good methodological reliability, although some limitations exist in the research.

Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop
June 2023
Introduction: This research aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire that considers social judgments and, through its application, assesses whether the presence of piercings, tattoos, beards, and loose hair visible in the face and neck region reflect on the patient perception regarding characteristics of the orthodontist's professional scope.
Methods: The developed questionnaire had its psychometric properties evaluated and was applied to 220 young people and adults, aged 18-70 years, who responded according to their perception of 12 manipulated images of orthodontists with different stereotypes, considering the following items: hygiene, care, punctuality, experience and knowledge in orthodontics.
Results: The developed questionnaire showed high acceptability, confirmed reliability and validity of the construct, and satisfactory internal consistency.
The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the frequency of use of minimum intervention (MI) techniques for caries management during the COVID-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was applied through the SurveyMonkeyTM platform to evaluate changes in the dentist's frequency of use of noninvasive, microinvasive, minimally invasive, and mixed interventions, nonaerosol or aerosol productive, to manage dental caries before and during COVID-19 pandemic. Differences in the use of MI techniques were analyzed by Wilcoxon test, and the effect size (ES) was calculated.
