Periodontal or peri-implant status: gingival recession (REC) · Adults (18 years or older) with one missing tooth in the aesthetic zone needing an implant-supported single crown
Metal-free implant abutments (zirconia) showed no clear difference in gingival/mucosal recession (REC) compared with metal implant abutments (titanium); GRADE not reported.

Caries experience (mean DMFT) · Older people (aged 60 years or older) with dementia
The DMFT index was similar between groups, with only 1 of 5 comparative studies finding a significant difference; no meta-analysis was performed (ungraded).

Denture use (prevalence) · Older people (aged 60 years or older) with dementia
Denture use was similar in older people with and without dementia, though one study reported lower denture use with more severe dementia; no meta-analysis was performed (ungraded).

Abutment failure · Adults (18 years or older) with one missing tooth in the aesthetic zone needing an implant-supported single crown
It is very uncertain whether metal-free implant abutments (zirconia) changes abutment failure compared with metal implant abutments (titanium) (very low certainty).

Cantilevered bridge complications · Adults (18 years or older) needing replacement of one premolar or incisor with a cantilevered fixed dental prosthesis
It is very uncertain whether metal-free cantilevered FDPs (feldspathic-veneered zirconia) changes cantilevered bridge complications compared with metal-ceramic cantilevered FDPs (very low certainty).

Patient satisfaction (measured by patient satisfaction or aesthetic scales) · Adults (18 years or older) with one missing tooth in the aesthetic zone needing an implant-supported single crown
It is very uncertain whether metal-free implant-supported single crowns (zirconia veneered with… changes aesthetic evaluation (patient satisfaction VAS) compared with metal-ceramic implant-supported single crowns (very low certainty).

Crown complications · Adults (18 years or older) needing a single crown in the molar or premolar region
It is very uncertain whether metal-free single crowns (full-contour zirconia) changes crown complications compared with cast gold (conventional metal) single crowns (very low certainty).

Fluorosis (mandibular teeth) at 5 years · Pregnant women (for preventing dental caries in the primary teeth of their children)
It is very uncertain whether fluoride supplementation (tablets, drops, lozenges or chewing gum) changes fluorosis (mandibular teeth) at 5 years compared with placebo or no treatment (very low certainty).

Dental caries: prevalence of root caries · Older people (aged 60 years or older) with dementia
Root caries was higher in older people with dementia (0.6 to 4.9) than without (0.3 to 1.7), described as significantly more common but not pooled (ungraded).
