Article Synopsis
- A new risk of bias tool, RoBDEMAT, has been developed specifically for pre-clinical dental materials research to enhance reporting and assessment in systematic reviews.
- The development process involved a four-stage method including project initiation, literature review, and expert consensus through a Delphi process, gathering input from 26 stakeholders and reviewing recent systematic reviews on dental materials.
- RoBDEMAT consists of nine items across four domains related to different types of bias, with accompanying guides and signalling questions, aiming to improve the quality of dental materials research and its systematic evaluations.
Aim: This survey assessed Finnish dentists' treatment decisions and choices of restorative materials in selected paediatric dental patient cases, with special emphasis on stainless steel crowns (SSCs).
Methods: A questionnaire with patient descriptions and tooth photographs was e-mailed to members of Finnish Dental Society (n=3,747). The respondents were asked to choose their preferred treatment in cases describing 1) extensive occlusal carious lesion in a primary molar of a cooperative child; 2) an identical lesion, treated under dental general anaesthesia (DGA); and 3) a symptomatic first permanent molar with enamel hypomineralisation (consistent with Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization, MIH) and post-eruptive breakdown.
Background: Current knowledge on treatment strategies and choice of restorative materials when treating deep caries or severe dental developmental defects (DDDs) in young individuals is scarce. Therefore, the aim was to investigate Norwegian dentists´ treatment decisions and reasons for treatment choice when treating deep caries in primary teeth and severe DDDs in permanent teeth in children.
Methods: A pre-coded questionnaire was sent electronically to all dentists employed in the Public Dental Service (PDS) in Norway (n = 1294).
