A critical review on the association of hyposalivation and dental caries in children and adolescents.

Objective: The purpose of this critical review is to assess if children and adolescents with hyposalivation are more affected by dental caries than those with normal flow rate.

Design: A literature search was performed using keywords and MeSH terms related to hyposalivation and dental caries in the Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, LILACS/BBO databases and in gray literature without language or date restrictions until March 2022. Observational studies that accessed the presence of dental caries in patients up to 18 years-old with hyposalivation and compared with a control group (normal salivation rate) were considered eligible.

Longevity of indirect restorations cemented with self-adhesive resin luting with and without selective enamel etching. A Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To investigate the influence of the selective etching in the survival rates of indirect restorations cemented with self-adhesive resin luting.

Materials And Methods: The eligibility criteria were formulated based on PICOS strategy. The search without restrictions was performed in PubMed/Medline, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS databases and gray literature until May 2018.
