Skeletal Stability Following Mandibular Counterclockwise Rotational Advancement For Correction Of Skeletal Class Ii Deformity—A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsMeta-analysis showed mandibular CCW rotational advancement is a stable procedure, both horizontally and vertically. However, the conclusions are far from robust due to the small sample size and poor quality of the reviewed studies. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

Are technology-based interventions effective in reducing dental anxiety in children and adults? – A Systematic Review
ConclusionsA limited number of studies supported the effectiveness of technology-based interventions in the treatment of dental anxiety in children and adults.Clinical significanceThe quality of the methods of studies on the effects of technology-based interventions allows only limited inferences on the effects of these interventions. However, within the limitations of the systematic review, the results converge to suggest that technology-based interventions may be useful as an adjunct to standard dental care. High quality RCTs are needed to determine the (relative) effectiveness of these interventions. (Source: Journal of...

Soft Tissue Changes in Dentoalveolar Protrusion Patients Treated with Maximum Anchorage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionIt was seen that MIs facilitated favorable soft tissue profile than the conventional anchorage devices. However, more high-quality studies are warranted to confirm the clinical effectiveness of MIs. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

Adjunctive Use of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors for Improving Alveolar Socket Healing: A Systematic Review
ConclusionPlasma rich in growth factors may bring advantages in some relevant clinical and radiographic outcomes, such as bone density and soft-tissue healing, after tooth extraction. It could also represent a useful tool for reducing adverse events, complications, and patients' discomfort, although it is still not quantifiable. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

Effect of lasers on dentine hypersensitivity: Evidence from a meta-analysis
ConclusionsOur results indicate that all types of lasers had a better desensitizing effect on DH than negative controls both in immediate and long-term. Furthermore, more large sample-sized, high-quality studies are needed to confirm our results. (PROSPERO CRD42018102260) (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

The Effect of the Bass Intrasulcular Tooth Brushing Technique on the Reduction of Gingival Inflammation: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this randomized controlled clinical trial, the participants brushing with the BT were significantly more effective in reducing gingival inflammation as determined by BoP compared with participants who had no instructions on brushing techniques: at 12 weeks there was less toothbrush deformation with the BT group compared with the control group.Clinical RelevanceThe BT should be recommended particularly to patients exhibiting BoP and periodontal diseases.

Efficacy of alternative medicaments for pulp treatment in primary teeth in the short-term: meta-analysis
ConclusionsThere is insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of alternative pulpotomy medicaments for use in primary teeth. Further robust studies are required before such alternative medicaments should be used in clinical practice. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

Dental patient-reported outcome measures are essential for evidence-based prosthetic dentistry
This article will briefly review patient populations and interventions applied in prosthetic dentistry and more extensively review outcomes used for evidence-based prosthetic dentistry.Dental patient populations in prosthetic dentistry usually suffer from extensive loss of tooth substance and/or tooth loss. Typical interventions in prosthetic dentistry are replacement of a substantial amount of tooth structure and lost teeth by conventional or implant-supported fixed or removable dental protheses. Sufficient controls or comparisons should also involve no treatment for tooth loss as a legitimate option. While for many years...

Consent in Geriatric Dental Care and Research is Important but Seldom Discussed
ConclusionsFindings from this systematic review suggest that the topic of informed consent in geriatric dentistry rarely is studied or discussed in the literature and that the current literature does not allow for a comparison of the consent process in dentistry to other medical practice.

ICDAS is a visual diagnostic system that is highly reproducible and accurate for coronal carious lesions detection, but only moderately reproducible and accurate for assessing lesion progression.
ConclusionsICDAS is a robust caries scoring system to assess the detection of coronal lesions in the permanent and primary dentitions related to both non-cavitated enamel and cavitated dentinal lesions. Active lesions progress more than non-active lesions, especially when they are classified as being cavitated. The reproducibility and accuracy of the additional activity assessments were moderate.

Methodological Quality Assessment of Meta-Analyses and Systematic Reviews of the Relationship between Periodontal and Systemic Diseases
ConclusionsHigh quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses are very crucial to understanding the relationship between systemic and periodontal disease. It is critical for medical practitioners to be able to inform patients of oral health and specific periodontal health concerns. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

Routine use of 3-dimensional imaging may not reduce risk of injuries to alveolar inferior nerve during the third molar extraction
ConclusionsPatients whose treatment plan was based on CBCT had a similar incidence of injury to the IAN to that of patients whose treatment was planned with PR. In patients with a high risk of injury, the percentage of patients with nerve disturbances was 9.0% for CBCT and 9.1% for PR. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

Intentional replantation of teeth is a viable and cost-effective alternative treatment to single tooth implants
ConclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that IR should be offered to patients as a viable alternative treatment to extraction and implant placement because it has comparable survival rates to dental implants and is highly cost effective (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

Integrating Evidence-Based Practice into Oral Health Clinical Practice: Students’ perspectives
ConclusionThe clinical educators are instrumental in providing guidance and support to oral health student learning of EBP. The evaluation supported integrating EBP into clinical practice but revealed some issues with implementation in this study. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)
