High-frequency sugar consumption (three or more times daily) vs Low sugar intake (fewer than three times daily) Dental caries experience in primary dentition (early childhood caries) · Nigerian children with primary dentition (approximately 6 months to 5 years) · Primary dentition A systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between sugar intake and dental caries in Nigeria. (2024) | OR 1.13 [0.23, 5.44] | 2 studies | Ungraded |
High-frequency sugar consumption (three or more times daily) vs Low sugar intake (fewer than three times daily) Dental caries experience in permanent dentition · Nigerian individuals with permanent dentition (approximately 12 years and older) · Permanent dentition A systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between sugar intake and dental caries in Nigeria. (2024) | OR 1.15 [0.88, 1.52] | 4 studies | Ungraded |
High-frequency sugar consumption (three or more times daily) vs Low sugar intake (fewer than three times daily) Dental caries experience (prevalence) · Nigerian individuals, including children and adults, with primary or permanent dentition · Overall (all dentitions pooled) A systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between sugar intake and dental caries in Nigeria. (2024) | OR 1.18 [0.87, 1.59] | 7 studies | Ungraded |
Vegetarian diet (any diet excluding all meat, poultry and fish) vs Nonvegetarian diet Number of natural teeth (missing/present teeth, edentulousness, MT component of DMFT) · General population (children and adults) assessed for dental hard-tissue health Vegetarian diet and its possible influence on dental health: A systematic literature review. (2020) | Seven studies reported on the number of teeth with conflicting findings; meta-analysis was not possible due to inconsistent outcome definitions. One study found vegetarians had significantly more teeth; two found no… | 7 studies | Ungraded |
Vegetarian diet (any diet excluding all meat, poultry and fish) vs Nonvegetarian diet Dental caries (mean DMFT score) · General population (children and adults) assessed for dental hard-tissue health · Adults only Vegetarian diet and its possible influence on dental health: A systematic literature review. (2020) | MD -0.09 [-0.32, 0.13] | 3 studies | Ungraded |
Vegetarian diet (any diet excluding all meat, poultry and fish) vs Nonvegetarian diet Dental caries measures other than pooled DMFT (DMFS, decayed/filled surfaces and teeth, root caries, nonvisible lesions, white spots) · General population (children and adults) assessed for dental hard-tissue health Vegetarian diet and its possible influence on dental health: A systematic literature review. (2020) | Eleven studies reported dental caries using 11 definitions; four (DMFT) were meta-analysed (see O2). Narrative findings were inconsistent: DMFS results were mixed; decayed surfaces and decayed teeth and percentages of… | NR | Ungraded |
