Not applicable (single-group prevalence) vs Not applicable

Dental caries prevalence · Children aged 12 years (plus or minus one year) in Africa

The pooled dental-caries prevalence was 0.3657 (95% CI 0.3065 to 0.4250); GRADE was not reported.

Institutionalization (living in an orphanage/institution) vs Parented children living with their families

Dental caries prevalence · Institutionalized orphan children (roughly 3 to 18 years)

Institutionalized orphan children may be at higher risk of dental caries than parented children (pooled RR 1.19), but the estimate is imprecise and not statistically significant (very low certainty).
