Unfavourable oral hygiene and dietary habits (frequent sweet/sugar consumption; low toothbrushing frequency in early childhood) vs Favourable oral hygiene and dietary habits

Caries development in permanent teeth · School children and adolescents (6-18 years) followed from primary dentition (baseline examination before 72 months of age)

Early-childhood oral hygiene and dietary habits show inconsistent associations with permanent-teeth caries, often losing significance after adjustment for past caries (2 studies; not pooled; not GRADE-rated).

Oral hygiene care training of carers vs No training (or a placebo training session) of carers

Plaque · People with mixed levels of ID (age range unclear); setting residential

Oral hygiene care training of carers showed no clear difference in plaque (medium term) compared with no training (or a placebo training session) of carers (low certainty).

Oral hygiene care training of carers vs No training (or a placebo training session) of carers

Behaviour, attitude and self-efficacy (carer experience) (medium term) · People with mixed levels of ID (age range unclear); setting residential

It is very uncertain whether oral hygiene care training of carers changes behaviour, attitude and self-efficacy of carers (medium term) compared with no training (or a placebo training session) of carers (very low certainty).

self‐management of oral anticoagulation vs usual care

All‐cause mortality · Patients on long‐term anticoagulant therapy (treatment duration longer than two months) irrespective of the indication for treatment

self‐management of oral anticoagulation probably leads to lower all‐cause mortality compared with standard care (moderate certainty).
