Apical periodontitis in osteoporotic postmenopausal women: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the scientific evidence about the association between osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and the prevalence of apical periodontitis, assessed radiographically.

Material And Methods: PRISMA Guidelines have been followed. The research question was: In adult women, does the presence or absence of osteoporosis affect the prevalence of AP, radiographically diagnosed? A systematic search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus and EMBASE.

Distinct Gastrointestinal and Reproductive Microbial Patterns in Female Holobiont of Infertility.

The microbiota is in symbiosis with the human body as a holobiont. Infertility conditions affect the female reproductive tract (FRT) and its resident microbiota. However, a disturbance in homeostasis could influence the FRT and other distal body sites, such as the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).

Does Diabetes Increase the Frequency of Root-Filled teeth: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.

Background: The indicated treatment in cases of apical periodontitis (AP), a disease very prevalent in diabetic patients, is root canal treatment (RCT). This study aims to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis to answer the following PICO question: In adult patients, does the absence or presence of diabetes affect the prevalence of root filled teeth (RFT)"?

Material And Methods: PRISMA Guidelines have been followed to carry out this systematic review. A literature search was undertaken in PubMed-MEDLINE, Embase and Scielo.

Prevalence of apical periodontitis and non-retention of root-filled teeth in hypertensive patients: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Several studies have suggested a relationship between AP, as well as the loss of root-filled teeth (RFT), and hypertension (HTN).

Objectives: The aims of this systematic review and meta-analysis were to investigate the prevalence of AP, and non-retention of RFT, in hypertensive patients.

Methods: A search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus and EMBASE.

Prevalence of Dens Invaginatus assessed by CBCT: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Dens invaginatus is a developmental dental anomaly resulting from an invagination of dental tissues folding from the outer surface towards dental pulp. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the prevalence of dens invaginatus using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Material And Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA statements.
