Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how orthodontists (OTs) and pediatric dentists (PDs) in Brazil screen and manage pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- A survey was conducted with 381 dental professionals, and 10 in-depth interviews were performed to gather insights on their practices and perceptions regarding OSA.
- Findings revealed that many OTs and PDs had some knowledge of OSA, utilized sleep questionnaires, and often provided specific treatments, but they faced barriers and expressed a need for better resources and guidelines in managing OSA.
Background: Orthodontic retainers are widely used to prevent relapses after orthodontic treatment; however, evidence about patients' perceptions of retainers is lacking.
Objective: To assess patients' perception of orthodontic retainers.
Search Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, LIVIVO, Cochrane Library, and gray literature (Google Scholar) were searched without date or language restrictions.
Background: Ectopic eruption of the maxillary first permanent molar is a local disturbance that affects the development of the occlusion.
Aim: To evaluate the occurrence of self-correction of maxillary first permanent molar's ectopic eruption and its predictive factors.
Design: Five electronic databases and part of the gray literature were investigated.
Introduction: Dental crowding is the most prevalent malocclusion in the mixed and permanent detitions and can have a major impact on dentofacial esthetics. However, adjustments to the development and growth of the dentition can potentiate self-correction of dental crowding during childhood.
Objective: To evaluate the physiological behavior of mandibular incisor crowding in the transition from mixed to permanent dentition.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to elucidate the role of orthodontic retainers on the stability of compensatory orthodontic treatment in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.
Methods: Five electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, and LIVIVO) and the grey literature (OpenGrey and Google Scholar) were investigated, according to the population, exposure, comparator, outcomes and Study design eligibility criterion. The risk of bias assessment was determined based on the Risk of Bias In Nonrandomized Studies of Exposure (ROBINS-E) and the level of evidence with the GRADE tool.
Background: The current pandemic has raised awareness of aerosol dispersion in dental offices. This scoping review was conducted to assess the amount and spread of aerosol generated by dental procedures.
Methods: This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR protocol and was conducted by searching multiple databases adopting a core search structure for each database.
Unlabelled: The congenital absence of multiple teeth may share the same genetic background of the development of some types of cancer.
Objective: This systematic review aimed to investigate the possible association between dental agenesis and cancer, and the perspective of agenesis as an early predictor for cancer risk.
Methodology: The electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, LILACS, and OpenGrey were searched and the risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa tool.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to assess whether hard or soft foods interfere with the pattern of occlusal changes in nonhuman mammals.
Design: The electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, LILACS, OpenGrey and Google Scholar were examined. Only studies investigating the effects of dietary consistency on the occlusal characteristics in animal models were included.
Dental wear analysis through the use of an intraoral scanner is a reality of modern dentistry. This study aimed to investigate the reliability of qualitative tooth wear evaluation through three-dimensional images captured with an intraoral scanner and compared to clinical and photographic examinations. Eighteen adult volunteers of both genders (18 to 55 years old) were submitted to clinical exams, intraoral photographs and intraoral scanning protocol using an optical scanner (TRIOS® Pod, 3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark).

Methods: The review was registered with the PROSPERO database. The electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, LILACS, OpenGrey and Google Scholar were examined with the searches restricted to the years 2019 and 2020.
Introduction: This study aimed to examine the role of dentofacial morphology in discriminating semi-isolated indigenous groups. These populations present a similar pattern of dietary habits. Studies in human genetics have reported a large intertribal genetic distance and low intratribal variation.

Materials And Methods: PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, Google Scholar, and OpenGrey were searched without restrictions. A hand search was also carried out in the reference lists of the articles selected.
